This lesson is designed for KS2 children. It can be taught as a stand alone lesson but is also available as part of two wider units, both of which are available on TES: -Earthquakes -Volcanoes & Earthquakes First the presentation looks at how the Earth’s crust is split into tectonic plates. It then examines the causes of earthquakes, how they occur at the fault lines between tectonic plates and what the hypocentre and epicentre of an earthquake are. There are three different activities to choose from which can be done in Geography and/or Literacy lessons. These include: Quiz Activity Students watch a video clip about earthquakes and answer comprehension questions about it. This is differentiated two ways. Cloze Procedure Activity Students fill in the blanks in an explanation text about earthquakes. This is differentiated two ways. Writing Activity Student write an explanation text about earthquakes. This is differentiated three ways and comes with vocabulary and sentence starter prompts. If you like this resource, we would appreciate a review!

Lesson 5 Haiti Earthquake Case Study Deemed an outstanding lesson in my recent PM review, students are to complete a mystery activity and find out why Emmanuel died in the Haiti Earthquake. The mystery includes clear facts about the earthquake, effects on the people and the environment. The card sort is differentiated so all students can access this and depending on the ability of the students you will receive a different answer to the key question. Students can show their understanding of the mystery by completing an exam questions. Example questions are attached to the PowerPoint which students can mark and use as a model when writing their own answers.

Requires the blue AQA GCSE Geography Oxford textbook AQA GCSE Geography lesson for Unit 1A. In this lesson we compare the Chilean earthquake of 2010 with the Nepalese earthquake of 2015. The lesson includes and photo interpretation starter and video clips where appropriate. the main body of the lesson is used by the pupils to fill out their differentiated worksheets on each earthquake. We then answer a GCSE-style question using a worksheet to help the pupils learn how to structure their answers. I hope this saves you valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

This lesson is designed for KS2 children. It can be taught as a stand alone lesson but is also available as part of two wider units, both of which are available on TES: -Earthquakes -Volcanoes & Earthquakes The presentation investigates the five deadly features of earthquakes including ground shaking, tsunamis, landslides, raising/lowering of land and liquefaction. It is followed up by an activity which is differentiated four ways: Easier – Students match pictures of the five features of an earthquake to descriptions. Medium – Students complete cloze procedure sentences. They then match pictures to each description. Harder – Students complete cloze procedure sentences. They then match pictures to each description and add a title for each section. Hardest – Students stick pictures of the five features of an earthquake in their books and write their own description next to each one. Extension – Can students unscramble the jumbled up earthquake facts? If you like this resource, we would appreciate a review!

This lesson includes details about all earthquake hazards including ground shaking, soil liquefaction, tsunamis, landslides, avalanches and flooding. the PowerPoint incorporates images, flow charts and video clips to help the students to develop their understanding.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for Unti 1A: The Challenge of Natural Hazards. there is a retrieval practice starter grid which will just need filling out by the teacher with appropriate questions. Pupils begin by looking at the location of earthquakes and volcanoes by plotting their location on a map using longitude and latitude. Pupils then describe the pattern using T.E.A (trend, examples, anomaly). We then look at the plates and margins. The pupils use description of the plates locations to work out where they are then descriptions of their movements to draw on arrows of the plates direction of travel. We examine the link between the locations and plate margins and briefly explain the anomalies by looking at hotspot volcanoes. We then tackle a GCSE-style question with guidance for the pupils if needed. In a nutshell lesson includes: Retrieval practice starter Longitude and latitude skills task plotting tectonic hazards Map task using descriptions of plate locations and movements Hotspot diagram drawing GCSE-style question with guidance. Hope this saves you valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

This is a case study lesson on the Haiti 2010 earthquake. The lesson is planned to GCSE standards but can be used for KS3 as well. Key facts about the lesson are: 1. The content covered by the lesson are; location of Haiti, identifying the plate boundary that caused the earthquake, the primary and secondary impact of the earthquake, analysis of the economic, social and environmental impact, short and long term response to the earthquake, an analysis of the response to the earthquake. 2. Learning resources used in the lesson are; Map task to identify the location of Haiti and it’s boundary, case study worksheet throughout, factsheets on different aspects of the earthquake, a group work task, a writing task and a quiz. I’ve included a suggested homework task as well which can be given to students before or after the lesson. 4.

The lesson is planned in detail and all the resources for teaching the lesson are included in the ppt; starter, learning activities with resources, clear outline of learning tasks and a plenary. Just download and teach!

This lesson is designed to last for 1 hour and is resourced with videos, extension questioning, deep thinking and uses graphs/images to aid learning. This lesson follows the Cambridge KS4 curriculum and looks at the causes and formation of an earthquake. Students will understand that earthquakes can occur at any plate boundary. Students will also define focus, epicentre and seismic waves before moving on to how to measure an earthquake. This lesson includes a starter, lesson objective, plenary, exam question and various student led activities.

This lesson is designed for KS2 children. It can be taught as a stand alone lesson but is also available as part of two wider units, both of which are available on TES: -Earthquakes -Volcanoes & Earthquakes N.B. Ideally children have a grounding in latitude and longitude prior to this lesson. The unit Understanding Latitude & Longitude is an ideal introduction to the topic. First the presentation introduces students to latitude and longitude and goes through how to find the coordinates of a point step-by-step. It then asks them to find the latitude and longitude of several world capital cities. The activity challenges students to locate the world’s biggest earthquakes using their latitude and longitude. It is differentiated three ways: Easier – Students locate 12 earthquakes using latitude and longitude. Medium – Students locate 15 earthquakes using latitude and longitude. Harder – Students locate 18 earthquakes using latitude and longitude. If you like this resource, we would appreciate a review!

Geography: How do Humans Live with Earthquakes? (Edexcel B, Tectonics, Hazardous) This Unit follows the Edexcel B syllabus but has been design to be part of a three year GCSE course. As a result this could be delivered at both KS3 and KS4. This unit is created in line with my personal passion for tectonic hazards in the developing world. This Unit is my favorite to deliver and has been streamlined over the last two years. This SoW work has been differentiated, with with both support and challenge throughout. Retrieval Practice and Duel Coding Theory are incorporated and as well as regular links to other parts of the syllabus, this is in line to my recent academic readings. Geographical and numeracy skill have been planned for. Happy to answer questions and any feedback welcome… thegeographyshoporiginal@gmail.com SoW: L1: What is the structure of the earth? L2: How do earthquakes form? L3: How do Earthquakes effect humans? L4: What made the China, 2008 earthquake so devastating? L5: Designing an earthquake proof building L6: How do tsunamis form?
