Powerpoint and worksheets looking at the relief and geology of the UK's landscapes Starter: video and dice-rolling activity about the rock cycle main activities: 'Classifying rocks' worksheet (comparing formation, Moh's hardness and human uses) filled in as the pupils read and discuss the Powerpoint slides. Discussions to analyse a variety of linked physical maps. Mapwork to colour areas of granite and chalk, then to add the Tees-Exe Line (including the pattern of the age of rocks from the Grampians to the South Coast). Differentiated questions about the links between geology/UK landscapes and how the Tees-Exe Line can help describe landscape distribution. Plenary: further locational knowledge of UK upland landscapes

PLCs modified from the OCR B Enquiring Minds syllabus

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.

Powerpoint and worksheet where pupils find out how various problems on Planet Earth link together and have climate change as a common thread Starter: label a temperature graph of the past 1000 years with major events that added pollution to the atmosphere Students then answer a series of differentiated questions after reading and discussing different aspects of our changing climate: sea level rise + migration + starvation + drought + extreme weather + disease + extinction

Powerpoint and worksheets covering constructive plate boundaries, collision zones and volcanic hot spots. Starter is an odd-one-out game involving keywords and place names linked to tectonics. Constructive margins focuses on the Galapagos Islands (Nazca and Cocos Plates) where pupils draw a cross section of the boundary then use clues to annotate key features. Hot spots and magma plumes are then introduced, linking to the African Rift Valley as a land-based plate boundary above a magma plume. A half-time Plenary looks at the importance of the Rift Valley to human evolution. Then pupils find the answers to questions about the San Andreas Fault through a comprehension exercise and report back to the class. The final piece of work is an A3 worksheet which combines constructive, destructive and collision boundaries. Pairs of pupils try to remember as much as they can by summarising their recent learning. The Plenary returns to the Galapagos and the islands' importance in Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Includes video links and differentiated questions. Enough for two lessons...

Powerpoint slides to copy into your own presentations Covers social, moral, spiritual, cultural, literacy and numeracy components

Powerpoint and worksheet where pupils work together to find links between climate change, human health, animal habitats and water supplies Starter looks at pupils' opinions of greatest threats to humanity, then statements from major organisations as a comparison Students then swap info (from fact sheets) so that each can complete their own set of links Differentiated questions: 1-3: How will climate change affect the World? 4-6: What are the social and economic effects of climate change? 7-9: What are the possible political effects of future climate change? Plenary: discussion of pupils' concerns for the future, then a video of Leonardo DiCaprio's speech at the United Nations

I use this layout to train pupils from KS3 how to put added detail into their answers The first cloud is for the initial idea that starts of their answer The following clouds (because, and so, Therefore) make them explain and then expand on their answer The final cloud (For example) makes them give place specific info (eg data, placename, quote) needed for higher level answers After using the 'clouds' a few times, the pupils become used to the layout/technique and can write their answers as more detailed paragraphs
