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.
A Powerpoint based lesson looking at the Heirarchy Pyramid and Settlement Shapes suitable for KS3 and GCSE.

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 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 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 an assembly aimed at inspiring students to achieve their goals and not set limits. It looks at the first moon landing, the breaking of the 4 minute mile, and the breaking of the 2 hour marathon. It allows the presenter to promote a Growth Mindset.
There are video clips that play automatically when used with Google Slides. If used with Powerpoint you will have to set up the automation.
Get high quality individual and accurate reports for all your students . You set up the comments, and then use teacher speak to allocate sentences to each pupil.
The writer uses Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets and will give you three terms worth of reports in one go once you have established what comments you are going to use.
This will save hours of writing and will provide accurate spelling and grammar.
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 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 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.
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.
