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 quick free test sheet to assess understanding related to developing countries versus developed countries. It’ll make them think.

A lesson that teaches students about the consequences of climate change. Links well to other areas studied (Great Barrier Reef & drought in India). I’ve also included a blah blah question that allows pupils to demonstrate their understanding even when they don’t quite fully understand everything that is being asked of them.

A lesson that covers the different weather cells, high & low pressure & how it creates droughts & tropical storms. This is a simple lesson, but one that covers many of the key areas relating to the new gcse 1-9 specification.

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 lesson to get pupils thinking about how to prioritise aid/support to a range of natural hazards.

A great lesson that I used as part of a natural hazards unit for KS3. Pupils use a variety of skills (mapping, scale, distance, calculations) as well as understanding where tropical storms happen. Fun & creative.

A front sheet that outlines the content needed for the environmental challenges work covered in the gcse geography OCR A specification. These are great as a coverage check and also to demonstrate progress over time. I often get pupils to populate it with knowledge at both the start & end of a unit.

A super lesson that explores the cause, effects & responses of tourism in the Lake District. Students use the information sheet (no need for books) to create a cartoon strip. I would recommend printing the information sheet in colour & in A3 & laminating it, to be used again. The cartoon strip is best in A3 too. Links well to much of the new 1-9 specification and was used as part of the KS3 SOW.

A lesson that explores how coastal features are created. Students use the information sheet (no need for books). Promotes independent learning. I would recommend printing the information sheet in colour & in A3 & laminating it, to be used again. The cartoon strip is best in A3 too. Links well to much of the new 1-9 specification and was used as part of the KS3 SOW.

A lesson that explores how the Great Barrier Reef is useful for people, threats to the reef, species & how it is being sustainably managed… Students use the information sheet (no need for books). Promotes independent learning. I would recommend printing the information sheet in colour & in A3 & laminating it, to be used again. Links well to much of the new 1-9 specification and was used as part of the KS3 SOW.

A super lesson that explores percentages of different factors around the world, as if it was a village of 100 people.

A lesson that allows pupils to map countries depending upon their level of development. Used as part of our KS3 SOW.

My pupils loved doing this diary of a refugee. Promotes a wider understanding of the issues. Marking sheet included too. Just needs printing & cutting up.

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.

A lesson that explores why people migrate, problems caused & sustainable solutions. Students use the information sheet (no need for books). Promotes independent learning. SPaG sheet included & quick test. I would recommend printing the information sheet in colour & in A3 & laminating it, to be used again. Links well to much of the new 1-9 specification and was used as part of the KS3 SOW.

A 57 page revision guide designed for OCR A, paper 1. All with a UK focus. Areas covered are: Coasts Population Energy Modifying the landscape for food & water Rivers Industry Urban geography Upland, lowland & glacial areas Climate of the UK It differs from a conventional guide because on each page it provides students with actual tasks to complete. E.g. sorting, linking, drawing, SPaG, spot the mistakes etc. At the back there are dozens of questions that pupils can use the guide to help answer. I printed lots off in colour and charged students £2 as well as providing them with a copy on disc. Some students just wanted a free disc copy & printed it at home. Please see my other guides for paper2 & 3. Although designed for OCR, much of the content is the same for other exam boards and it is very easily amended. This took dozens of hours to create and will be an superb time save resource that will really support students of all ability.

A lesson that explores the social, economic & environmental impacts of the Elan Valley to Birmingham water transfer scheme. Students use the information sheet (no need for books). Promotes independent learning. Pupils have a choice of tasks. Assessment task also provided. I would recommend printing the information sheet in colour & in A3 & laminating it, to be used again. Links well to much of the new 1-9 specification and was used as part of the KS3 SOW.

A lesson that gets pupils to calculate their own carbon footprint based on a series of life style questions. There are lots of on-line versions, but I wanted one that didn’t need any IT access. Pupils create a pledge that demonstrates ways that they will try to reduce their own carbon footprint. There is also a more complex GCSE style question that promotes an understanding of the global picture & why more developed countries would have a larger carbon footprint than developing countries. Or this may be set to change in relation to (often more costly) energy saving devices. Used as part of the KS3 SOW.
