Powerpoint and resources on the management of natural hazards For AQA Geography Natural Hazards Unit Differentiated tasks

This lesson covers the mitigation strategies for climate change. It fits with the AQA Paper 1 Climate Change unit. I have used this with KS3 and KS4. It focuses on CCS, planting trees, renewable energy sources and international agreements. There are some youtube links and a table to complete.

I give these loyalty cards out to encourage self directed revision before exams or class tests. The students must show me a revision activity they have completed (either something I gave them, or something they have decided on themselves e.g. a mindmap or a case study fact file, timeine, or flashcards). Then I sign the space or use a stamp. Once complete they can choose a reward! P.s. I got them ordered in busniess card size. They looked great!

This is a worksheet that I use as a ‘quickfire quiz’ with my students to jog their memories on the basic and critical facts needed for this module. One strategy that works well is the following Give them the questions, and 10 minutes to see how many they can answer Give them the answer sheet, and anything they got wrong or missed out they should write down in a different colour Give them a fresh set of questions, and see if they can get 100% this time The worksheet could be printed with spaces for children to write the answers, used digitally, or used as a template for the kids to write their own flash cards. There is also an answer sheet attached.

This is a differentiated worksheet where students use a range of sources to answer questions including a desision making task. The questions have been designed using command words from AQA GCSE geography, however it could be adapted for any exam board’s command words. Differentiation: The first page is a worksheet with ‘take it further’ more challenging questions, and the second page just has the main questions with hints on which sources to use, as well as a brief hint for how to answer the descision making task. The worksheet could be used as homework or as part of a lesson on Hurricane Milton. You may want to provide more sources e.g. a news channel video and a couple more images on the social, environmental and economic impacts. You could also consider supplying resources e.g. a Textbook and an Atlas to allow the students to answer the questions in more depth.

This is a fun and colourful knowledge organsier that can be used for revision or to support teaching. It covers the critical content for a unit on climate change, particularly good for KS3 although I have used to support teaching in KS4 lessons occasionally when basic knowlegde needs revisiting. It would also work well with retrieval practice activities! The information is concise and summarised, and covers the following topics: Greenhouse gas effect Evidence to show climate change (tree-rings etc.) Impacts of climate change Mitigation and adaptation of climate change Brief mention of impacts in Bangladesh (LIC) and the UK (HIC) I hope you enjoy.

This is a revision sheet for the topic of population. I use this with KS3 as a revision sheet at the end of the topic, or I give it to them at the beginning so they can see what we will be covering. The topics on the sheet include: Causes of population growth Birth rates Death rates Sparse and dense populations Life expectancy Urban areas and rural areas Measures of development Impacts of population growth

This is a quiz suitable for KS3 Geography lessons, possibly KS2. The rounds are as follows: Face, Place, Flag Santa Grid Reference Christmas letters World Map General Knowledge Reindeer Compass Directions For round 2 and round 5 I used a map from Digimaps but I cannot share it, so you will need to make your own OS map and paste it behind the images for these rounds. Any map with grid references on will do. Then you can change the answers for round 5.

This is a revision sheet which covers the key learning points for climate change. I use this with KS3. It can be used to help with exam revision or at the beginning of the module so they can stick it in their books and refer to it. Topics included: Greenhouse gas effect Natural and human causes Evidence for climate change Impacts of climate change Mitigation and adaptation strategies

Globalisation description This is a fun and colourful knowledge organsier that can be used for revision or to support teaching. It covers the critical content for a unit on globalisation, particularly good for KS3 although I have used to support teaching in KS4 lessons occasionally when basic knowlegde needs revisiting. It would also work well with retrieval practice activities! The information is concise and summarised, and covers the following topics: Key definitions Causes of globalisation Impacts positive and negative A case study of Nike and its impacts on the host country and country of origin I hope you enjoy.

This is a colourful and fun resource that could be used as a revision sheet, or as basic information summarised for students to refer back to throughout a teaching unit on coasts. The information is really condensed so that it includes many aspects of coasts on one A4 sheet of paper. It includes definitions, wave types, erosion types, weathering, erosional and depositional landforms as well as notes on beach management and long-shore drift. I use this with my KS3 clasess, and occasionally with KS4 to provide basic and condensed revision material for them to work from. If you were to use it with KS4 it would work with the AQA Unit 1 Coasts topic.

This is a fun and colourful knowledge organsier that can be used for revision or to support teaching. It covers the critical content for a unit on urbanisation, particularly good for KS3 although I have used to support teaching in KS4 lessons occasionally when basic knowlegde needs revisiting. It would also work well with retrieval practice activities! The information is concise and summarised, and covers the following topics: Key definitions Global trends of urbanisation Push and pull factors Megacities HIC, LIC, NEE cities and their growth Environmental impacts of cities Sustainable strategies in cities I hope you enjoy.

This is a lesson I used with year 10 as a stake holder debate over the issue of Hinkley Point C. The lesson starts with a cartoon about nuclear power allowing students to relfect on the different perspectives. Then you will need to create groups for the four stakeholders. Local Family Stop Hinkley! Campaign EDF UK Government They have sources to look at, to come up with a one minute speech for the debate. The lesson ends in a relfection excercise where students place the arguments they heard on a balancing scale. This way they can reflect on the strength of the arguments from different stakeholders.

This lesson introduces the opportunities and challenges of the Dharavi slum settlement in Mumbai. It is within the topic of urbanisation. The tasks include sketching and annotating the slum area using a couple of pictures as prompts. It builds towards answering a 6 mark question at the end ‘Compare the opportunities and challenges faced by rural-urban migrants in Mumbai (6)’. This final question is differentiated with a fill in the blanks, scentence starters, and glossary version of the activity. Activities: Starter based on an image Discussion of images Discussion of social, economic, environmental challenges and opportunities Sketching Annotation of the sketch Answering a 6 mark GCSE style Question

Two complete lessons on the impacts of climate change across the world. Fits with AQA GCSE Paper 1 Section A: The challenge of natural hazards (Climate Change) I have used with KS3 and KS4 The first lesson covers rising temperatures, warming oceans, sea level rise, increase in frequency and intensity of storms, ocean acidification and desertification. The second lesson includes spread of disease, changes in farming, drought, hosepipe bans, sea level rise, spread of malaria and changes for scottish ski resorts. It also has individual case studies from certain countries including Nepal and Kenya. Includes differentiated acitivities.

This is a whole lesson with an accompanying activity sheet. It covers the main evidence for climate change (ice cores, tree rings, historical reords). There is a differentiated activity on slide 10 and 11 with different ways to answer a 6 mark GCSE style question. It encourages students to think about the advantages and disadvantages of each type of evidence. It links into the AQA Paper 1 specification for AQA GCSE Geography.

For use with KS3 or KS4. Fits with AQA Geography Paper 1 Section A (the challenge of natural hazards) Climate Change. This lesson covers the natural causes of climate change including volcanism, solar variation and orbital changes. It includes a complete lesson on a powerpoint , information flash cards on the natural causes, and an orbital cycles note taking sheet. There is a GCSE style question 6. On slide 7 there are scentance starters, a fill in the blanks and key words to be used to differentiate the 6 mark question.

This lesson introduces megacities to the students. They then categorise some of the features of Shanghai into economic, social and environmental. The students then discuss the challengs of the city and rank them in order. This lesson works well with Year 8 or any KS3 class. There is a challenge for each task, for those students who want to take it further!

This resource has worked well with KS3 and KS4. It covers the coastal erosion at the Holderness coastline. it covers the rate of erosion, the need for protection, and the advantages and disadvantages of management. The activities include: Drawing a sketch of the erosion and labelling it (starter) Describing the location of Holderness in detail Watching a video of erosion at Holderness Categorising the advantages and disadvantages of management at Holderness Writing a long structured answer where they evaluate the impact of managment at holderness. The tasks are differentiated, and for the final writing task there is a helpful bookmark structure sheet.

This lesson focuses on the causes of uneven development: physical, economic and historical. This is the structure: Starter: a video to get the students thinking Activity 1: Mind map where the students can show what they already know Activity 2: Filling in a table using the flash cards, on the main reasons for inequality Activity 3: Short explanation and flow diagram about the multiplier effect Main task: students annotate satirical cartoons to explain the meaning behind them, using what they have learned Plenary: Students discuss their interpretations
