This lesson is designed to teach the students about the different types of aid and to identify the advantages and disadvantages of different types of aid. To start the students are asked to consider where aid is needed at the moment and what type of aid they have given recently. Next there is a video clip introducing the different types of aid.

This lesson starts by testing the student’s knowledge of the location of major cities in the UK. It then introduces the concept of core and periphery. Pupils then have to apply this to explain the patterns on two UK maps. Next, the students research 4 causes of uneven development (infrastructure, economic change, government policy and geographical location), using information sheets incorporated into the PowerPoint. The lesson also incorporates an examination question and mark scheme. The plenary is an opinion line about the impact of government policy on addressing uneven development through the creation of a Northern Powerhouse.

This lesson will start by asking the students to recall the stores and flows in the carbon cycle. They will then be shown diagrams of the carbon cycle for the rainforest, tundra/taiga and deciduous forests. They will compare these and suggest reasons for the differences, before drawing their own carbon cycle to scale. They will be given information on carbon exchanges in the rainforest before identifying the impact of an individual tree on the carbon cycle, which will require them to apply the knowledge they have gained form the lesson. This lesson forms part of a series of lessons and is available as a bundle.

This lesson is a thinking skills DME activity. It involves pupils identifying the characteristics of an ageing population and the speed at which the population is changing in the UK. They then have to implement a plan to tackle the problems in a local area. It is designed to get the students to learn more and think more deeply about the solutions available and to categorise and prioritise these solutions. at the start these is a quiz on population pyramids. All resources are included in the PowerPoint.

This lesson uses diagrams and photos to allow students to develop their knowledge of spit formation. There is a writing frame and word bank to support students in explaining how spits are formed and a mark scheme for teach / peer / self-assessment. There is an OS map of Blakeney Point Spit for students to use to incorporate map skills in their answer. The lesson also uses photos, GIS and maps (at a range of scales) to explain bar and tombolo formation.

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.
