An activity which gets students looking at the advantages and disadvantages of hard engineering techniques along the coast. With higher ability students I also get them to think about sustainability. You can stick the fact sheets in the PowerPoint around the class room or get them to pass them from group to group. The table also has a differentiated version too.

Snakes a ladders revision game for the new AQA specification. So far I have created two games for coasts and rivers under the topic of physical landscapes in the UK.

Self, peer and pupil review sheets, to help students carry out detailed self and peer assessment and DIRT on their own work. These work best laminated for one between two.

In order to support SEN and EAL students learning the formations I have created formation 5, where each formation is broken down into 5 steps. The palm of the hand contains a diagram and is colour coded so the students can see where the stages occur. Please review or share on twitter if you have used with @Geoisamazing. Thank you!

Stickers to help make marking students work quicker.
