Biomes on the edge
This topic explore two biomes that are under pressure. The first series of lessons focus on the structure of both rainforests and coral reefs before exploring their values, threats and how they are both being managed. Students are challenged throughout the scheme by a variety of learning strategies such as problem solving, memory tasks, ranking and prioritising, flip learning, evaluation and considered judgement.

Lesson 10 Which is the best way to manage coral reefs?
This final lesson in the biomes on the edge topic explores the management strategies behind coral reef ecosystems. Students begin by deciding whether projects such as Lady Echo Island are effective. Then students scale coral restoration projects before deciding which are more effective.
Lesson 9 Are we completely destroying our coral reefs>
This lesson studies the threats to our coral reef ecosystems. Students carry out a skills taks to explore the threats to the GBR before a diamond 9 ranking activity gets learners to consider the biggest threat. Then students compare this threat to that of the coral triangle and decide which is the biggest threat.
Lesson 8 Could our planet survive without coral reefs?
This lesson explores the value of coral reefs. Students firstly explore the difference between value for humans and value for the environment using the Great Barrier Reef as a case study. Then students compare these values with that of the coral triangle.
Lesson 7 Is it a challenge for plants and animals to adapt to coral reefs?
This lesson looks at the structure and adaptation of a coral reef. Students start with a match up task which challenges their memory of how coral reefs form. Then students teach each other how plants and animals have adapted to the coral reef ecosystem before deciding just how challenging these adaptations are.
Lesson 6 How did coral reefs form?
This lesson explores the existence of coral reefs. Students start by defining a coral reef before exploring their characteristics. Then students investigates the formation of coral reefs looking at the Great Barrier as an example.
Lesson 5 Can we ever save our rainforests?
This lesson investigates the management of TRF’s. Students will begin by exploring the user groups with a TRF, playing the parts of four stakeholders through a speaking and listening task. The students will investigate a variety of management strategies before deciding which is most effective and why.
Lesson 4 Who suffers most from deforestation?
This lesson investigates the causes and impacts of deforestatation within a TRF. Students start by looking at the reason deforestation takes place, ranking the needs. Then students investigate the impacts using the SEE scale and exploring two locations, Australia and Indonesia.
Lesson 3 Why are rainforests so valuable?
This lesson explores the value of goods and services within a TRF. Students have a sorting task which helps the teacher identify whether students understand the difference between goods and services. Then, through guided reading, students explore and rank the value of each good and service before determining which is the most valuable.
Lesson 2 Is adapting to a rainforest challenging?
This lesson explores the adaptations within a tropical rainforest. First there is a memory based task that introduces students to the structure of a rainforest. Then there is an explanation task that explore the physical and behavoural adaptations of a variety of plants and animals within a TRF.
Lesson 1 Why do rainforests exist?
This lesson gets students to discover the reasons for rainforest distribution. Students start by looking at their definitions using the freya model, going on to then explore their locations and why we find them within various lattitudes. Finally students are challenged by investigating an article on a theory behind how more recent rainforests have been created.

OCR A Physical Landscapes of the UK
This bundle includes 10 lessons that all follow the specification of OCR A Physical landscapes of the UK. Starting with building knowledge of upland and lowland landscapes and how human activity impacts our landscape. The scheme of learning then explores geomorphic processes and includes lessons on two case studies including the River Tees and Holderness coastline.
OCR A Lesson 10 Case study Holderness Coast
In this lesson students will explore the Holderness coast. A sorting task will help them decide why the coastline is vulnerable. Then students will explore how the coastline is impacted by human intervention by teaching each other various hard and soft engineering strategies.
OCR A Lesson 9 Erosional landforms along the coast
This lesson focuses on how erosional and depositional processes help shape the coastal landscape. Using images, ordering tasks and learning checks students will investigate how stacks, beaches and spits are formed.
OCR A Lesson 8 Wave processes
This lesson explores the differences between constructive and destructive waves and how the primarily shape the coastline. The lesson will start to research how wave cut platform and wave cut notches are formed.
OCR A Lesson 7 River Tees human activity
This lesson investigates the importance of the river Tees and how human activities such as river management impact the landscape. The lesson starts by questioning students on why we need rivers such as the Tees. Then learning moves on to the impact of hard and soft engineering strategies on the river landscape.
