I made this for my year 9 class who are GCSE for the AQA A specification. It is the first two lessons for starting to look at development. As the students start the GCSE in year 9, I have made the topic more based around exam practise.

A lesson that looks at the structure of the earth and the two types of crust.

When printed onto A3 students play against each other to see who can answer the most questions under the clock or who can finish the whole board first. Students write their answers on post-it notes so that the boards can be used again and again.

A DIRT review sheet for the ecosystems and urban challenges section of the SAMS paper. This sheet was designed to help my students improve the answers that they got wrong as a class, so will probably need adapting to be used with other classes. The document is saved as a pdf as it contains different fonts.

A PowerPoint which goes through the mark scheme in a student friendly way for the 2012 paper. Question 7d is from the 2015 paper.

A starter slide showing a two comparison pictures of Dubai, which can be used in the new AQA GCSE urban issues and challenges unit.

In the style of harry potter, these key words can be hung to make a nice classroom display. To see how this looks visit @geoisamazing.
