Each question contains 3 sheets (gold, sliver and bronze) to allow for easy differentiation with varying help within the strip down the side of page. Pupils have responded very well to these especially when reflecting on assessments. Also really useful for revision!
AQA 9-1 Physical Fieldwork Write Up (Rivers)
Outstanding Lesson on Physical Fieldwork Write Up . A selection of 3 differentiated booklets (Bronze, Sliver and Gold) used to answer the hypothesis: ‘How does a meandering section of a river compare to a straight section?’. Booklets used over a full hour and contain various activities such as: Literacy Links, Reasons for Location Selection (Health and Safety) Graphing Cross Sections, Labelling Cross Sections and a Structure Strip (for a 6 mark exam question).
Further activities where carried out measuring velocity etc. however were discussed in a different lesson.
NOTE: Location of our fieldwork was Gordale Scar. There’s a small section on why we selected this site. You could easily change this to your location or change to a general ‘What makes a good fieldwork site?’.
AQA 9-1 Geography PLC's - Unit 2
This is a revision companion guide linked with the ‘CGP GSCE AQA Geography 9-1 Course’ book. The booklet contains checklists, keywords and exam practice questions. It also contains suggestions for revision techniques and ‘top tips’ for the exam.
This booklet is for Unit 2 (Human Paper). It contains the themes of:
- Section A - Urban Issues and Challenges
- Section B - The Changing Economic World
- Section C - Resources Management & Energy (NOT Food and Water)
However the booklet can be easily adapted to add in/take out sections.
Unfortunately no links with GCSEPod as most of the Unit 1 topics are ‘in progress’.
Pupils find this guide extremely useful to help structure their revision and help give them a starting point. It’s also good for them to have something to work through ticking off as they go tracking their own progress. It really helped with motivation for outside of school revision. See Unit 1 (Physical Paper) Booklet as well!

Students need a ‘starter kit’ to create help create their house e.g. cardboard, cartoons, plastics bags, yogurt pots etc. You will also need waste materials for the tip.
