A sheet used to enable pupils to evaluate (clearly) the pros & cons of primary & secondary methods of data collection linked to a human & physical piece of fieldwork. Spaces are generally blank so as to allow them to be populated with the fieldwork tasks undertaken at you centre. It simply summarises the key points & makes explicit links to fieldwork, without being overly complex.

A test used to assess understanding about carbon footprints. Use at KS3 or 4.

All the resources needed to teach pupils about the uses and characteristics of upland & lowland areas in the UK in a GCSE question context. This really supports pupils in structuring an effective answer. Suitable for all age groups & easily amended to suit all GCSE geography specifications.

All the resources needed to teach pupils about population pyramids. Suitable for all age groups & easily amended to suit all GCSE geography specifications.

All lesson resources to teach about convection currents & the layers of the earth. Students (in pairs or individually) create a piece of the world with all of the key information on. They then put the 4 quarters together to create a full earth diagram. Superb for display.

A lesson that enables pupils to put a whole lot of information onto a single sheet. Best printed in A3. Pupils look at the global distribution of tropical storms, rainforests & deserts. They analyse the climate and add case study location. Pupils add a piece of tracing paper onto the map (best stuck down with blu-tac) to locate & plot rainforests. This is a basic GIS.

A lesson that allows pupils to create an isoline map whilst at the same time gaining an understanding of where tropical storms happen and why.

A superb game that allows pupils to learn about the issues related to population in a fun, creative and engaging way. This was used as part of our KS3 SOW. Some coloured paperclips will be needed for the pupils to play this.

An A3 sheet that I used as a pre examination handout. It covers the basics of the content for paper 3 (skills). This was copied in colour, laminated and provided to pupils as they were waiting to sit their exam. It could easily be used for any geography exam board or simply used as a skills revision sheet.

A work sheet (ideally printed in A3) that allows pupils to breakdown the correct way to answer specific command words in questions. Designed for all levels and ages of pupils, but with a specific GCSE focus.

A worksheet to use with pupils post assessment. Students firstly create a percentage from their test score. They then collect data from their peers and fill in the table. Once completed, they order the data and calculate the mean & median. They then plot the data as a stack graph or double bar graph (boys & girls). To finish, they complete the target setting sheet. Data can be analysed once all elements have been done. Can be used with all year groups, but works well for KS3.

A simple lesson that covers the environmental impacts of modifying the landscape for food in the UK. The GCSE links really tests their understanding. Covers most new 1-9 gcse geography specifications.

A simple, but effective lesson linked to gaining an understanding of human & physical geography. Pupils will need to bring in magazines, newspaers or old books to cut up. I got pupils to cut cirles out of A2 coloured paper in order to create the 2 venn circles needed for the task. They then create a venn diagram. A super lesson that is practical & fun.

A great lesson about the water cycle. Students look at key terminology & rhyming words (which help them to create their poem). They then create a piece of poetry. Mark scheme included (that the pupils create). These just need printing & cutting up. Saves a lot of time.

Resources for teaching about the Hoover Dam. Students use the links in the powerpoint to make notes on the info sheet. They then create a short presentation (extended writing). It is very simple, but very effective.

A great lesson that enables students to create a tracing paper (GIS) overlay that identifies areas that are prone to flooding. It works bes by photocopying onto tracing paper. This can easily be done by changing the settings on the photocopier.

A simple task that allows pupils to analyse an image from a glacial area and compare it to a lowland area in the UK. It provides them with a key work bank and example of what a good one should look like.

A great lesson that I used as part of a natural hazards unit for KS3. Pupils use a variety of skills as well as understanding the social & economic impacts that cold weather has in the UK. Fun & creative.

A lesson that covers how material is transported by a river. It is simple, but effective and has all of the elements to allow all abilities of pupils to access the learning.

A geography skills games used to teach grid references in the form of the battleships game. Each slide of the powerpoint is the teachers turn. This means that no cheating can take place. Pupils use the blank grid to draw on their ships and marks off eack of the teachers turns (which is also shown on the powerpoint). Once the first player has all of their ships sunk, the teacher loses. Each student takes it in turn to read out their coordinates to try and sink the teachers ship. A single hit sinks the entire ship. It works incredibly well for all age groups.
