A resource that helps students learn about urban land use patterns using the Burgees and Hoyt models. By the end of this lesson students should: * understand that urban areas consist of a number of land use zones or functions * be able to define the term 'land use model' * understand that models show simple patterns of land use, which can explain the complicated growth of a city * know that there are two main land use models that apply to urban areas in MEDCs

The activities are based on the 1:25000 OS Explorer Map OL12 map of the Central Beacons but the exercise is adaptable to other OS maps. It aims to develop an enjoyment in map reading by making an area ‘come alive’. Students find map locations of different human activities from written descriptions. An aerial photograph helps in a decision-making activity based on the people ‘in the map’. The completion of the activities by small groups enables the development of discussion skills. There is opportunity for literacy skills if written work is completed.

The thinking skills exercise in this file tests students understand of the key vocabulary associated with river flooding.

Looking at glaciers and glaciation through the interpretation of photographs and worksheets.

Resources looking at waterfalls, erosion and gorges.

A lesson showing the characteristics of meanders and floodplains and explaining how they are formed.

This resource supports the lesson on Transportation and Deposition.

How coastal landforms are created by transportation and deposition.

A lesson explaining the formation of terminal moraine and ribbon lakes.

This unit uses animation to explain the formation of hanging valleys. Processes such as plucking and abrasion are exemplified and images from Snowdonia and beyond are used to show how these processes have created the landscape.

Interpretation of the demographic transition model and population pyramids.

These lesson materials and resources are designed to support learners in their understanding of * the processes operating at the coast * how areas along the coast can be protected * the groups of people concerned about coastal protection * how to complete a fieldwork sketch Although these resources rely on images and materials based on Porthkerry and Penarth in the Vale of Glamorgan, the processes illustrated could be applied to any coastal area.

Fieldwork notes, data and photo archive.

Land use, map, car ownership data and picture gallery.

A unit of work to support understanding of the section on World Trade in the WJEC GCSE Geography (A) specification. The unit includes comprehensive notes with appropriate animations, a glossary of terms, activities to test understanding and model exam answers to questions. Pupils could use the units within their own study and parts could be used for whole class discussions. The materials are also suitable for other some exam board specifications.
