This resource is an independent task for pupils to examine the location factors and sustainability of the Tesla Giga factory in Nevada.
It uses a Youtube documentary that is viewed through Video link to avoid Youtube ads.
This resource is fantastic as a standalone task for homework, or in remote learning. It can be used with all abilities because it has straight forward response questions leading up to longer responses.
This worksheet asks pupils to respond to the information and questions given in the Youtube Clip that is taken from a BBC News article about how Boscastle is responding to the Flood after 10 years.
Pupils have to identify any short or long term responses shown in the clip, answer simple questions based on information given, and give a response about how people of Boscastle may have responded in the short and long term.
A Coastal management decision making exercise suitable for KS3 or KS4. The pupils are asked to protect a coastline with a specific budget. They take into account the opinions of local stakeholders and perform a cost-benefit analysis before reaching their decision.
A word search containing key words for Coastal Management. It would be useful as a lesson starter or filler encouraging pupils to learn key words and spellings.
Water Cycle worksheets that are aimed at higher and lower ability pupils at KS3.
These worksheets take the pupils through terms such as evaporation, transpiration, throughflow, infiltration, surface run off, condensation.
They could equally be used in KS2 or KS4 Geography and Science depending upon the ability level of your pupils.
This worksheet recaps the ideas behind a basic industry module.
It asks pupils to identify occupations and categorise them into Primary, Secondary, Tertiary and Quarternary activities.
It then asks the pupils to identify each economic sector on the demographic transition model.
The third element is a true or false case study task about Nike and its development of factors across the glob. This could be easily adapted for Apple or other TNC. The questions should promote an amount of discussion because they are not actually “true or false” and can be debated.
The final section is an odd one out task, that I have tried to make difficult based on previous pupils questions and experiences.
These worksheets are designed as a review of learning during the KS3 and Common Entrance Geography Settlement module.
There are a number of activities for the students to do. THe lower ability sheet asks the pupils to use colour to identify reasons why settlements grow, and then problems that can be caused. The next section asks the students to label the Burgess model.
Following this there is a true and false section where pupils identify statements that are true or false about the redevelopment of the Olympic park in London.
The pupils are then asked to label the Settlement Hierarchy, and as an extension identify typical services at each level.
The final task on the lower ability sheet is to identify the odd one out words related to settlement hierarchy, and urban growth.
The higher level worksheet follows a similar pattern, but asks the pupils to explain why urban areas grow using the key words used in the lower ability task.
The pupils are also asked to explain whether the redevelopment of the olympic park was a success or not.
The resource is fully customisable and you can adapt for your own needs. You will probably need to adapt the case study section.
A Powerpoint resource to help explain to pupils how to find 6 figure grid references.
The Powerpoint is really helpful and splits the process of finding 6 figure grid references down into a series of animated steps. This makes it more accessible for pupils to learn how to find and use 6 figure grid references.
There are some accompanying questions to go with the resource.
A Powerpoint based lesson looking at the Heirarchy Pyramid and Settlement Shapes suitable for KS3 and GCSE.
This lesson takes you through each level of the pyramid and identifies the different services at each level.
Pupils will learn about each level and be able to identify specific urban areas on a map and apply them to the hierarchy model.
This lesson introduces the theme of Settlements to the Year 7 Common Entrance and KS3 Geography group. It thinks about the reasons why settlers would have settled in their chosen locations.
Pupils are asked to look at a variety of locations and identify reasons why first settlers would have built their settlements in those locations.
This is a game where pupils use a feature in Google Earth and are taken to different places to learn about those locations.
The resources include a powerpoint to be completed by the pupils, or printed off, and a Youtube video with instructions.
This is a revision worksheet for pupils to consolidate and revise their learning. It is designed for the Geography Common Entrance Course but is equally compatible with KS3 and KS4 Geography.
Questions have a link to a Youtube clip that can help them answer the question from the worksheet.
This is a differentiated resource for KS3 or KS4 that enables pupils to use a sophisticated digital mapping website to predict the weather for the following day.
They are asked to produce a forecast using video or podcast, but first need to formulate their script using n excellent weather website that visualizes current temperature, wind speed, air pressure and many other weather variables.
The standard worksheet structures the questions pupils should follow in developing their script. The more advanced version allows for pupils to structure their own script and weather variables they think are important to present.
Use this resource to help pupils discover locations of UK mountain ranges. It is differentiated in to two levels for higher and lower ability pupils.
The resource comes with the lesson outlined on powerpoint, with word worksheet files all ready to print out and use with your class.
It was initally designed for a Year 7 class but could equally be used right down to KS1.
There are two main exercises in this lesson.
Activity 1. - A collaborative group exercise where the pupils organise a UK map of mountain ranges and decide between the group, the appropriate labels and heights. This is a great exercise to visualise the mountains, and not merely view them on a map without any understanding of the vegetation or relief of the land.
Activity 2. This activity consists of differentiated worksheets with and extension task and some higher order thinking questions that provide enough extension for pupils.
The whole lesson comes with a Powerpoint to guide you and the class through the lesson.
This lesson was devised for an interview. It features lesson plan, and resources that takes pupils through the process of longshore drift and the formation of spits.
It is split into three abilities for differentiation with an extension exercise that links the effect of human interaction with the formation and development of spits.
The session is to be supported by youtube clips explaining the processes.
