AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1A: In this fourth lesson in the section we look at the effects of climate change around the world. We start with a quote from Great Thunberg and the pupils discuss whether they think she is right that we should be panicking about climate change and its impacts. We then look briefly at climate change impacts in the UK where the pupils will annotate a map of the UK using information from a video clip. We then look at the impacts worldwide, the pupils will be given an A3 sheet with a map surrounded by the impacts, they first locate the region the where the impact will be felt, rate the seriousness of the impact and then categorise each one as either social, economic, environmental or political. Using the information they have now gathered they write a response to Greta Thunberg’s quote using evidence from the lesson. We finish with a post-it plenary using a 2-mark question from the 2019 exam. In a nutshell lesson includes: Discussion starter over Greta Thunberg Quote Annotated diagram of the impacts on the UK A3 map task on the effects of climate change worldwide Video clips where appropriate GCSE-style question plenary Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1A: In this fifth lesson in the section we look at how we can manage the impacts of climate change. the starter is designed to test the pupils understanding of the significance of the USA’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement by asking them to make connections between the pictures. It can open up discussion too, We then look at 4 methods for reducing carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere. Alternative energy sources, carbon capture, planting trees, international agreements. The pupils will have a worksheet with several tasks to complete such as describing the method, explaining how it reduces CO2 concentrations, rating the method for sustainability and explaining their rating.

We start with a picture interpretation around frost fairs on the River Thames and how this might be evidence for climate change. We then look at the graphs that scientists have composed that show how our climate has fluctuated over the years. The pupils will have a large A3 activity sheet to fill in as the lesson progresses. The second section looks at ice cores and how they have helped the scientists formulate records of past climates. We then look at the impacts of global climate change and how they might also be evidence for climate change too. The pupils will write down their own ideas then elaborate with the help of the slides and some video clips. We finish with GCSE-style question with some suggested content if they need help.

A series of lessons looking at climate change and global warming. Lesson 1: Causes- what global warming is, what greenhouse gases are, are humans the cause, deforestation and fossil fuels. Lesson 2: Effects- data about climate change, sea level rise, ocean acidification, warming oceans, shrinking ice sheets, extreme weather events, effects on health and a graph drawing exercise. Lesson 3: Solutions- what can governments do, the Paris agreement, what businesses can do and renewable energy. Lesson 4: Solutions- what individuals can do to combat climate change. There are lots of exercises and information included in each lesson and it could easily be condensed down into fewer lessons by excluding some tasks.

We start with a simple retrieval practice grid based on previous learning. We then look at what the scientist think and how a consensus has grown about the impact of anthropogenic influences on the climate and we watch a clip that summarises this. We then create a diagram in our books and the students are guided step by step through the greenhouse effect, creating the diagram as they go. The pupils then watch video clips on the three main greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxides. The pupils make notes around their hexagons using the video clips to help. We finish by looking at the ‘enhanced greenhouse effect’ and a 9-mark gcse-style question with guidance on how to answer for the pupils.
