A revision lesson that has a starter and a plenary based on the challenge of resource management. Our school have taught the water topic, so that is the main focus of the lesson. The main activity is to complete an A3 revision sheet containing exam questions, definitions, photograph annotations and diagrams. There are also mini-plenary slides where you can discuss the answers to some of the questions on the sheet. Please check out my other revision lessons and leave feedback if you like the lesson!

Lesson on Makoko in Lagos, Nigeria. Forms part of the Lagos case study for Urban growth in the AQA Geography 9-1 spec. Lesson includes use of statistics, a video about Makoko, exam question practice and a conflict Matrix examining the role of different stakeholders in deciding on the future of Makoko. Students will work through the booklet which accompanies the lesson and there is a QR code with a link to the video if they wish to re-watch it as part of revision.

A lesson focussing on techniques for revision. Examples used are from the topics of: Resource Management, Rivers, Coasts and Tropical Storm Hazards, . I have written it for the AQA 9-1 GCSE, however I would assume that most, if not all of the ideas are on most specs. The lesson looks at memorising key words, mnemonics, use of pictures to jog memory, ways to summarise and revise processes, practice questions and mind mapping. Slightly more than a lesson’s worth, but you can select what activites your students require. Please note that there is some overlap betweent this lesson and the ‘Revision Technique: GCSE Rivers’ lesson.

Lesson 1 in Food Scheme of Work. Used for key stage 3 lessons on the topic of food. Gives and overview of what foods are found in which parts of the world. Includes a differentiated task where pupils have to locate different foods from around the world and complete paragraphs to suggest why they’re found in these places. Aims to build upon basic map skills and introduce ideas about climate for the more able.

Aims to implement independent learning through Revision for Paper 1 for AQA GCSE. Revision lesson on the Living World topic, covering key words, rainforests and hot deserts. Refers to case studies on Borneo rainforest and the Western Desert, but this is easily ‘tweakable’ if necessary. Includes Practice Questions, Example Answers, Worksheets, Detailed Handouts and Full Powerpoint Lesson Plan. Please check out my other revision lessons and leave feedback if you like the lesson!

Lesson in the Resource Management Scheme of Work. Pupils will define the term ‘energy security’ and complete a venn diagram from a card sort, assessing the sustainability of various sources of energy. They will then look at how the UK’s energy mix links to energy security.

Lesson 5 in the Resource Management Scheme of Work. This lesson begins the sub-topic: Water around the world. Pupils will describe the distribution of water availability around the world and then use their own knowledge to suggest whether certain countries around the world will be suffering with water insecurity. They will then use a handout to annotate countries on a map and explain why they have a water deficit.

Year 12 model answers to 3 questions from the changing places topic and 3 from the carbon/water cycle topic. 1 4 mark, 1 6 mark and 1 20 mark for each topic. Answers have been marked and are worth full marks. The 20 mark question is colour coded to show which parts of the question link to each part of the mark scheme.

Lesson 10 of the challenge of resource management topic. In this lesson, pupils will use back to back drawing to located Kajiado in Kenya and also to draw a diagram of a sand dam. They will watch a video which explains how they are used in this region on Kenya and they are asked to think about why this level of technology is appropriate for LICs.

A lesson designed to be used with year 8, although I have used the resources with sixth form before to help them understand economic development with a detailed case study! The lesson focuses on the city of Shenzhen in China and looks at rapid population and economic growth. Pupils will create a storyboard to show why the city has grown so rapidly. There is also a video interview with a farmer to show his perceptions of how the city has developed.

Lessons 6 & 7 in the challenges of resource management topic. The first lesson asks pupils to classify the impacts and responses of resource management into a venn diagram, using a card sort. There is also a practice 4 marker for pupils to test their knowledge of the lesson. In the second, optional lesson, pupils create their own board game based on the impacts and responses to water insecurity

I’ve planned a revision timetable for year 11 which includes the topics we teach at GCSE (AQA Geography) broken down into manageable chunks. Each week, students have topics to revise, suggested ways to revise and an exam question to do the following lesson. There are 2 options for the exam question, 1 without annotations and another that has the questions annotated and scaffolded to help. There is also a detailed mark scheme, including example answers for the longer questions. Questions range from 1 mark to 9+3 SPaG. I’ll be adding more of these as I plan them so that our entire course is covered. Hopefully this will be easy to edit if you use different case studies, or sub-topics. This third set includes: The Changing Economic World LIC/NEE- Case Study Economic futures in the UK Environmentally sustainable industry- example The Challenge of Resource Management Large scale water transfer scheme- example local scheme in LIC/NEE to increase sustainable supplies of water- example Living World Hot Desert- Case Study Physical Landscapes of the UK Wave types and characteristics Coastal Processes Coastal Landforms- example Coastal management- example

This lesson encourages to evaluate example questions and answers to examine what enabled them to get higher or lower levels. They will work in groups to discuss example answers and rather than simply marking them, will be asked questions such as, ‘What is required for level 2 analysis?’. There are practice questions for pupils to work through, after group discussion.

This is a revision lesson I’ve created to revise the 3 topics: Urban Issues and Challenges, The Changing Economic World and The Challenge of Resource Management. It is tailored towards the sub-topic that we have selected as a school, which is ‘Water’, rather than Food, or Energy. The lesson is designed to be delivered in 1 hour, with a starter which recaps a little from each topic, and then 3 packs of tasks which are split up on different tables. Students will have 15 minutes to complete the activities in each pack, before a plenary to discuss how prepared they are for their exam. The packs contain a range of tasks including exam questions, marking exam questions, card sorts with key words and exploring photographs they have been given. All of the resources are hidden slides in the powerpoint.

This is a powerpoint which was originally used as 2 summer school sessions for years 5&6. It would be fine for KS2-3 between years 5 & 8, but ideally as an introduction to continents. The first session allows pupils to use the information sheets provided to decorate a continent with physical features (such as waterfalls, mountains, forests etc.). The second session looks at how humans live across the different continents of the world and asks pupils to focus on one area and create a person from that country and then create a display where the people are labelled onto the physical geography world map. The continent maps are to be printed on A3. If possible, try and print the Asia continent larger so it fits better, but I know this isn’t always possible- I did mine all on A3. The 2 sessions are based on allowing 1 hour for each, but between 1 hour and an hour and a half for each session should work well. I also photocopied some pages to go with the handouts. A favourite book of mine is ‘Children Just Like Me’ by Unicef. Unfortunately I can’t scan these in for copyright reasons, but there’s loads of information in the handouts. These are just really an added bonus.

Lesson 9 in the challenge of resource management topic. In this lessons, pupils will look at various strategies for supplying/using water and think about whether each one is more more suited to an LIC, NEE or HIC. They will then annotate a large diagram with these ideas and classify them to show what type of sustainable each idea is.

Lesson 8 in the challenge of resource management topic. Pupils start by thinking about the physical and human factors that affect water supply in Spain and then use clues to locate the water transfer project. They then make notes from a detailed video clip and select one reading to do based on the water transfer project and use this to help them complete a differentiated written activity.

AQA AS Level- Geography of Heatlh Includes definitions of key terms/statistics e.g. morbidity, mortality, maternal mortality, life expectancy etc. Great to stick around the classroom and use as an information collection exercise so pupils get out of their seats for a break.

Suitable for AQA KS4 Spec A. Links in with Water Availability in UK and in Ghana. Simulation game where pupils have to work out how much money to spend on what and how to adapt to climate change and water shortages. Links with numeracy and encourages decision making skills Group work lesson.

AQA A GCSE: Water on the Land 'I'm a...' Numerous card that are left under pupils' desks. Each pupil reads off his/ her card to explain how different processes affect river discharge. Key terms: interception, percolation, infiltration, permeable, surface run-off, through flow, groundwater flow etc.
