This lesson contains a worked example followed by a series of exercises where the students can practice and apply their knowledge. Included within the PowerPoint are worksheets for the students to fill in and a full set of answers, including worked calculations. I have included two dispersion diagrams to be used to calculate the interquartile range. I designed these to be used either as homework tasks or as an introductory lesson / skill practice lesson. They are also designed to encourage the students to memorise the formulae as these will not be included in the exam papers even at GCSE level.

Many students get to the point of revising, sit down and don’t know what to do next. These worksheets include a range of tasks which cover a wide variety of topics. The idea behind them is that when the students sit down to revise they don’t have to think of tasks, just select one from the list. They should focus on testing themselves e.g. look, cover, write, check. I encourage my students to start with an easy task so they feel that they are making progress, followed by a difficult task.

This lesson is designed to get students to consider the advantages and disadvantages of re-urbanisation, using the Stratford Olympic Park as an example. To start the pupils are given a definition of re-urbanisation. Next, there are a series of photos and videos to develop the students sense of place and understanding of how the park has changed the area. After that the students are given 9 facts about the advantages of re-urbanisation and are asked to classify them as social, economic or environmental (answers included). They then use a diamond 9 to organise them from most important to least important. They then repeat this task for the disadvantages of re-urbanisation. The lesson ends with a quiz which requires the students to classify the facts into either advantages or disadvantages. All resources and answers are included in the PowerPoint.

Each grid is comprised of 6 tasks for the students to complete. They incorporate a range of skills from identifying landforms to case study responses. The students can be given the grid to complete as a homework task. The next lesson they are given an answer sheet and a new grid to complete. This enables them to self assess their responses using the answer sheet and to identify any area of weakness, so they can undertake further revision. It also enables them to recap knowledge from area of the course that they have not studied recently. The assessment effort grade, can be collected in by the teacher to give feedback on how effective the student’s recall is. By giving an answer sheet you know that the students will all have the correct information. They can use these grids to revise further at home. I copied them double sided (answer and new grid) onto card. There are 4 grids to complete (2 river and 2 coasts) and answers sheets are included within the PowerPoint.

This lesson starts by asking students to identify the UKs major imports, exports and trading partners. Next, students are introduced to the terms trade and trade deficit. After that the students are given a cartoon of the changes to farming over time. They are asked to consider how the location of the farmer’s trade has changed, which leads to a definition of globalisation. This is consolidated by asking students to think about items they have bought from other countries recently. Next, the students are asked to produce a map of the UKs top 10 trading partners for imports and exports, using data provided and to describe the data. After that there is a scaffolded explanation task. Students should complete the ideas column in small groups or pairs, hopefully this will spark discussion and sharing of knowledge from ideas box, the teacher can answer further questions as they arise. Next, the students should complete their own explanations using the final 3 columns (one has been scaffolded for the students). The plenary asks the students to consider the impact of Brexit on the UKs trade. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

Firstly, there is a white board quiz linked to the causes and effects of flooding. This is designed to recap previous knowledge. Next the students are introduced to the River Eden and it’s key features. After that the students are asked to collect facts about the different human activities that occur around the river from information sheets. Once these are complete introduce the students to the impacts that human activity can have on the river landscape. Next, arrange the students into small groups. Using the information sheets and a planning sheet they need to plan out PEE paragraphs as a team. After that the students need to write their own 8 mark examination response to a human activity question using their planning sheets to help them. There is a writing frame and mark scheme to accompany this. Finally, the students are asked to demonstrate their understanding of how the human activity changes along the whole river. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

This booklet is designed to follow up work undertaken on a river field trip. It includes a range of skills based questions involving methods, site selection data presentation, analysis and conclusions. Each section includes a GCSE mark scheme to assess the students work. These resources can be adapted to be used with fieldwork activities undertaken at a range of locations.

This booklet is designed to follow up work undertaken on a urban field trip. It includes a range of skills based questions involving methods, site suitability, interquartile range, data presentation, analysis and conclusions. Each section includes a GCSE mark scheme to assess the student’s work. These resources are based on Leeds but can be adapted to be used with fieldwork activities undertaken at a range of locations. This is available as part of a fieldwork bundle including a fieldwork data collection booklet.

This booklet is designed to follow up work undertaken on a coasts field trip. It includes a range of skills based questions involving methods, data presentation and analysis. Each section includes a GCSE mark scheme to assess the student’s work. These resources can be adapted to be used with fieldwork activities undertaken at a range of locations.

This lesson gradually builds up the characteristics of a climate graph and then leads to the students completing a climate graph for Cumbria on pre-drawn axes. Next, the students need to interpret the climate graph reading the minimum, maximum and range for rainfall and temperature. Next, a writing frame is provided for students to build the information they have interpreted up into a description. After that there is a differentiated living graph activity where students can apply the characteristics of climate to their everyday life. More confident students should choose whether to place the statements at the start or the end of the month and to decided whether to locate them on the temperature or rainfall graph. The pupils are then provided with some data for London’s climate so that they can compare Cumbria’s climate to London’s. Finally, the students are given a climate graph for Khartoum to test if they can apply their understanding to an unfamiliar place.

This resource is deigned to revise plate margins and the land forms associated with them. Included in resource are the following topics: Plate margin card sort Plate tectonics theory Type of plate margin Tectonic land form carousel Exam questions Plate margin characteristics In addition the following skills are used: Classifying information Recall and speaking Recalling information and diagrams Recall and discussion Planning answers, recall and PEE paragraphs Recall and classification At the end of the resources are student booklets. The first page of the booklet acts as a plenary for students to evaluate their progress in the lesson and to identify what and how to revise next. The resource is easily editable for your own case studies.

This resource is deigned to revise climate change over two lessons. Included in resource are the following topics: Natural causes of climate change Evidence of climate change Global Warming Causes and effects of climate change Global atmospheric circulation Tropical storms causes, characteristics, location and frequency Causes of EL Nino Effects of the Big Dry Adaptation to drought At the end of the resources are pupil booklets. The first page of the booklet acts as a plenary for pupils to evaluate their progress in the lesson and to identify what and how to revise next.
