The Challenge of Natural Hazards - AQA GCSE Geography

Looking for a scheme of work which covers everything in The Challenge of Natuaral Hazards Unit? Look no further - this has been created by myself as I was tired of using out of date / inaccurate / long and boring resources.

This is a FULL scheme of work for the unit The Challenge of Natural Hazards - it is based on the AQA GCSE specification. It has been created from scratch and includes a total of 11 lessons, a FREE AQA knowledge organiser which has been adapted to include the relevant case studies, and formative assessments throughout. Each lesson has a challenge question as its title, tasks throughout, retrieval practice at the start of each lesson, a starter, main and plenary. There is a lot of exam practice, with AQA exam styled questions in most of the lessons.

All the lessons come with worksheets and PowerPoint - the lessons are fully adaptable to your requirement - and will approximately last 1 hour. The lessons were originally created on Google Slides / Google Docs, and have since been converted to Microsoft Powerpoint / Word for you when you download them.

The CGP Geography revision guide (2023) has been used alongside the creation of these lessons.

A breakdown of each lesson are as follows:

Lesson 1 - What is a natural hazard?
Lesson 2 - What is the structure of the Earth? Continental Drift Theory.
Lesson 3 - How do the tectonic plates move?
Lesson 4 - What were the effects and responses to the New Zealand 2016 earthquake?
