An introduction to epidemiology. Asks students to research and place certain events on a timeline to show how the disease has spread. Then complete a line graph to show the number of cases in these countries. Students will then describe their graphs, create a prediction as to what will happen next and think about how social distancing and population structure will affect their predictions. There is a KS3 and KS5 version of this lesson also available and I hope to write a follow up lesson over the Easter Holidays.

Continues from the first lesson a couple of weeks ago. Asks students to look back at their predictions to see how the virus has increased, calculate the cases per million of the population and then the fatality rate. Students will then think about why the fatality rate varies in different countries and come up with a prediction of how the number of deaths will change over the next few weeks. There is a KS4 and KS5 version of this lesson also available and I hope to write a third lesson about coronavirus hotspots in the UK over the next couple of weeks.

An introduction to epidemiology. Asks students to place certain events on a timeline to show how the disease has spread, locate 4 countries and then complete a line graph to show the number of cases in these countries. Students will then describe their graphs, create a prediction as to what will happen next and think about how social distancing will affect their predictions. There is a KS4 and KS5 version of this lesson also available and I hope to write a follow up lesson over the Easter Holidays.

This is a skills lesson based on the country of Nigeria. It fits into the topics of ‘The Changing Economic World’ and ‘Geographical Skills’ for AQA GCSE. Students will calculate Birth Rate and GDP per capita for different states of Nigeria. This should help them to understand these development indicators more clearly and be able to distinguish between Birth Rate and Fertility Rate. They will then create a choropleth map to show the variation in Birth Rate in different states of Nigeria. They will also complete 2 scatter graphs (axes are provided) to show the relationship between Birth Rate and GDP per capita and Birth Rate and Fertility Rate. There are then some exam style questions to help them understand the data and analyse it. Suggested answers are also provided. All worksheets are ‘hidden slides’ on the Powerpoint so that it can be saved as one file.
