These worksheets take your pupils through the organisation of a fieldwork trip suitable for studying how rivers change from upstream to downstream. This resource is based on the River Caldew in Cumbria, but the maps can be easily adapted to a location near you. The worksheets take the pupils through identifying a hypothesis, locations, and completing a risk assessment for the trip. The data that can be recorded on the sheets are cross sectional area, width, and velocity of river at three different sites. This is a ready made resource that will enable you to complete a fieldwork day in your local area.

This worksheet provides a series of statements that leads pupils to understand the difference between weather and climate. Pupils then are asked to write a definition for both weather (short term variations in atmospheric conditions) and climate (Long term average of atmospheric conditions). On the reverse of the worksheet there is a starter activity I use to mind map what pupils know about weather.

River Processes worksheet featuring exercises on Hydraulic Action, Abrasion, Attrition, and Corrosion. There are further questions on discharge, and a labelling of the drainage basin exercise.

A River Meander Worksheet that helps pupils understand how river meanders are formed. The key terms covered include Erosion, Deposition, Slowest River Flow, Fastest River Flow, River Cliff, Slip Off Slope, and Thalweg. The worksheet starts with a labelling activity on a cross section of a river and a overhead view of a meander. This is followed by a true or false activity where pupils have to consider whether the river would cause a number of different scenarios. Pupils are then asked to consider what would cause the river to increase in sinuosity and jot these ideas down as a mind map. Lastly the higher order thinking question asks pupils to think about the implications of rivers on cities such as London or Nottingham.

A worksheet to use when teaching about river transportation. It incorporates the processes of Traction, Saltation, Suspension and Solution when a river transports sediment downstream. The worksheet is differentiated so that lower ability pupils will have to explain key words, and higher ability pupils will write an extended piece of writing explaining the processes.

This resource is a case study of the 2011 Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami that struck the area of Sendai and Japan. The magnitude 9 earthquake could be felt over a large area, and triggered a 40ft Tsunami wave. Due to Japan being a HIC/MEDC/ Developed country the country was well prepared for the event and amazingly only 15000 people died. However the quake caused many other significant economic and environmental problems. This resource uses a BBC News article from the day that is linked from the worksheet. Pupils respond to the video and answer various factual questions and are asked to summarise the events of the day with a tweet. This is a good resource for a cover lesson, home learning, or introduction to the event.

A worksheet that covers the major factors that affect the UK weather and climate. This includes the effect of relief, the distance from the sea, latitude, and the North Atlantic Drift.

This worksheet uses the Hans Rosling Youtube documentary called “Don’t Panic” to discover the impacts of global population growth. The questions start with largely factual responses to the documentary, but build towards developing structured answers about population growth.

This resource uses a number of Youtube videos and Powerpoint presentations to present the students with a series of information about the Himlayas. Pupils then have to locate the Himalayas and identify the countries in which they are found. There are further questions based on the climate, before going into a more detailed exploration of Everest and Base Camp. Finally pupils are to write a post card imagining that they are writing from base camp describing the mountain region and its climate.

A Geography worksheet asking pupils to identify reasons for global population growth. Pupils have to analyse the trends in the graph alongside some true or false questions that stimulate debate in a class review.

A worksheet resource that helps pupils understand how Headlands and Bays are formed in coastal processes. Pupils are asked to sketch out the effect of waves on hard and soft rock, before completing a true or false task on headland and bay formation.

This is an exercise identifying coastal features from a map. In my classes I have exchanged the opensource map for an Ordnance Survey map, so if you have access to OS mapping you may want to exchange the maps.

A worksheet that takes the pupils through migration definitions with push and pull factors. The pupils then have to identify push and pull factors and colour code each one. Finally there is an extension question where the pupils are asked to investigate the arguments for and against Brexit.

A worksheet that will help your pupils understand the different factors that affect microclimates. It is a fully editable Powerpoint file.

A worksheet that is to be used in conjunction with several online resources. Pupils are to seek out answers to questions and terms to build a case study that would be suitable for Geogrpahy at KS3 or KS4.

This resources introduces air masses to the weather module. It uses a clip from the Met Office that explains the different air masses, and pupils have to annotate the diagram, match up the definitions and decide which air mass produces different types of weather. It can be set as a standalone homework task or a cover lesson.

This worksheet follows a documentary produced on Youtube. The students answer questions based on information presented in the video. These questions build their case study knowledge of HS2 before they attempt to answer a 6 mark question.

THis resource is an introduction to the structure of the earth. It uses a Youtube Video and asks questions based on the material presented. Pupils then have a Larger or Smaller task, and a labelling of the earths structure.

This resource acts as a useful introduction to weather. It asks pupils to define the different variables that make up weather, and produce a mind map. The second section provides some statements that pupils must decide if they relate to weather or climate. This in turn leads them to writing their own definition for weather and climate, and identifying the differences between them.
