A 57 page revision guide designed for OCR A, paper 1. All with a UK focus. Areas covered are: Coasts Population Energy Modifying the landscape for food & water Rivers Industry Urban geography Upland, lowland & glacial areas Climate of the UK It differs from a conventional guide because on each page it provides students with actual tasks to complete. E.g. sorting, linking, drawing, SPaG, spot the mistakes etc. At the back there are dozens of questions that pupils can use the guide to help answer. I printed lots off in colour and charged students £2 as well as providing them with a copy on disc. Some students just wanted a free disc copy & printed it at home. Please see my other guides for paper2 & 3. Although designed for OCR, much of the content is the same for other exam boards and it is very easily amended. This took dozens of hours to create and will be an superb time save resource that will really support students of all ability.

A lesson that gets pupils to calculate their own carbon footprint based on a series of life style questions. There are lots of on-line versions, but I wanted one that didn’t need any IT access. Pupils create a pledge that demonstrates ways that they will try to reduce their own carbon footprint. There is also a more complex GCSE style question that promotes an understanding of the global picture & why more developed countries would have a larger carbon footprint than developing countries. Or this may be set to change in relation to (often more costly) energy saving devices. Used as part of the KS3 SOW.
