AQA GCSE Geography lesson for Unit 1a. in this lesson we start with a photo starter of a pyroclastic flow where the pupils can design their own GCSE style question then answer. We then move on to look at interpreting photographs of natural hazards which is something we do more of later in the unit. We practice on the landslides in Burundi in 2015. We then look at when a natural event becomes a natural hazard. We progress to categorising various hazards to introduce the categories of hazards. We watch a short video clip on human interaction with natural hazards before the students complete a mind map using hexagons of the factors that increase hazard risk. We finish with a practice question with guidance should the students need it. In a nutshell, the lesson includes: Create a question starter Photo interpretation task Hazard categorising shaded grid task Video clip Factors mind map task GCSE practice question with writing frame. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

Natural hazards review questions PowerPoint.

To learn about some of the most hazardous places on Earth Can you define the term ‘natural hazard’? Can you identify areas with different levels of hazard risk? Can you rank order hazards to identify the most hazardous areas

In this bundle of resources there is revision material including case studies for Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Floods, Super cyclones, tsunamis, landslides and The creating of the 6th mass extinction. This includes information on formation, affects, prediction, measuring and mitigation.

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 prediction, protection and preparation management methods for volcanoes, earthquakes, floods, droughts and tropical storms. Where possible management strategies will be generalised but students will also look at methods applicable to individual hazards. This lesson includes a starter, lesson objective, plenary, exam question and various student led activities.
