This worksheet follows a documentary produced on Youtube. The students answer questions based on information presented in the video. These questions build their case study knowledge of HS2 before they attempt to answer a 6 mark question.
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.
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.
A worksheet that is to be used in conjunction with several online resources. Pupils are to seek out answers to questions and terms to build a case study that would be suitable for Geogrpahy at KS3 or KS4.
This is an exercise identifying coastal features from a map. In my classes I have exchanged the opensource map for an Ordnance Survey map, so if you have access to OS mapping you may want to exchange the maps.

This worksheet provides a series of statements that leads pupils to understand the difference between weather and climate. Pupils then are asked to write a definition for both weather (short term variations in atmospheric conditions) and climate (Long term average of atmospheric conditions).
On the reverse of the worksheet there is a starter activity I use to mind map what pupils know about weather.
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.
THis resource is an introduction to the structure of the earth. It uses a Youtube Video and asks questions based on the material presented.
Pupils then have a Larger or Smaller task, and a labelling of the earths structure.

This will save hours of writing and will provide accurate spelling and grammar.
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.
