Eight page booklet : define keywords, create a factfile about an African country, a SPAG exercise about the continent, a short piece of research about the UN's work in Africa, an opinion piece about whether or not the UK still owes a moral debt to Africa for colonialism, a page to decorate an outline map of Africa with traditional patterns and finally a page to show how modern music is related to African rhythms
Powerpoint and worksheets using the UK as a Case Study of drought in a developed country. Completion of a climate graph. Differentiated exam-style questions. Comparisons of human and physical maps and data. Sustainability of four drought management methods used in the UK.
Powerpoint covering headlands and bays along the destructive Holderness coast
Starter: use maps to locate Flamborough Head
Main activities: sketch bird's eye view diagrams showing before and after erosion has affected a discordant coastline. Followed by a differentiated question: 1-3: How do headlands and bays form? 4-6: What role have chalk and boulder clay played in the formation of Flamborough Head?
7-9: What is wave refraction and how has it affected the Flamborough landscape?
Second part gets pupils to annotate a diagram to show the sequence of cave-arch-stack formation using a series of mixed-up pieces of info (so can be done as a card sort or a mystery). Class then feeds back verbally by responding to a series of images and questions
Third part: pupils work together to find advantages and disadvantages of headlands and bays using clues from a large scale OS map
Plenary: pupils recap learning by describing and explaining features seen in a photo of the chalk at Flamborough
Powerpoint looking at erosion and transportation along Holderness
Starter: the properties of powerful waves, including fetch
Main activities: map work to measure the fetch from Holderness to various coasts of the North Sea. Then radar diagrams are introduced, using a wind rose as an example followed by the pupils constructing a radar to show dominant wave patterns. Then the link between the UK's SW prevailing wind and how it causes NNE dominant waves. Differentiated question... 1-3: What makes a sea wave powerful? 4-6: Explain why North Sea waves can be powerful and damaging
7-9: Refer to data which suggests that Holderness is threatened by powerful waves
Second part gets pupils to draw and label diagrams to compare the features of constructive and destructive waves. They are then asked to assess photos of Holderness to decide which type of wave is affecting that coastline.
Third part looks at the properties of boulder clay and why that soft geology is a problem. Differentiated question: 1-3: Why are the caravan owners worried about the erosion of the cliffs at Hornsea? 4-6: Explain why erosion of the boulder clay is a problem for Holderness
7-9: Explain why the erosion of boulder clay is an economic problem for Holderness businesses
Plenary: pupils are asked to show how they think a typical wave moves, then are shown an animation that describes the circular motion of real wave patterns
40 mark SDME assessment in the form of a Powerpoint with associated resources
Background: Why does Holderness suffer from severe coastal erosion? What are the advantages and disadvantages of halting erosion?
Options: Why has hard engineering used to defend Hornsea? Why is soft engineering gaining popularity?
Decision: Do nothing, retreat the line, hold the line or advance the line
Powerpoint and worksheets explaining the Enhanced Greenhouse Effect
Starter is an odd-one-out quiz of various human activities which affect climate
Students draw a pie chart showing sources of greenhouse gases from human activities then memorise and sketch the Enhanced Greenhouse Effect
The main work involves constructing a mind map of the effects caused by major greenhouse pollutants (carbon dioxide, water vapour, nitrous oxide, methane and halocarbons)
Differentiated questions:
1-3: How does (a) industry and (b) farming make climate change worse?
4-6: How do humans add to the Greenhouse Effect and climate change?
7-9: Using named chemical compounds, explain how human actions increase the rate of climate change
Plenary: affects of contrails on the short-term weather

Powerpoint and worksheet about the extreme temperatures, precipitation and winds around the World.
The work involves researching Case Studies from info sheets then annotating a World map with explanations for the extremes. Pupils work together, report back to other pupils then to the whole class.
Case Studies are: the Atacama Desert; Ridge A in Antarctica; Mawsynram in India; the McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica; Death Valley; Barrow Island off Australia; and Vostok Station, again in Antarctica. Builds on knowledge from Hazards 1: "GLOBAL CIRCULATION SYSTEM". Enough for two lessons.
A decision making exercise (set up as a lesson) based around transnational corporations and developing countries.
How can Nigeria meet the United Nations set a Millennium Development Goal of ‘Halve the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water’?
The Nigerian Government has four options…
-Encourage the use of bottled water in partnership with a transnational company like Nestlé
-Educate Nigerian school pupils to understand the importance of water hygiene
-Form a partnership with a non-government organisation such as Water Aid
-Invest government resources into clean water supplies and sewage treatment works
Includes resources and questions
First Powerpoint in a series looking at the River Tay (Britain's largest river by discharge)
Starter: A comparison of the Tay with the Severn and the Thames and using maps to locate the Tay
Main activities: sketch of a typical river basin, then annotate to show main features (eg tributary, confluence, source, mouth)
Graphing activity to construct the long profile of the Tay (including locating the three stages of the river)
Worksheet and mystery clues comparing the Upper and Lower Stages of the Tay with Bradshaw's River Model
Differentiated questions comparing the Upper and Lower Stages of the Tay Valley
Plenary: video link recapping the long profile of a river
