This lesson is the first in a series on rivers designed for KS3 Geography. This is a recap of student's knowledge on the water cycle as an introduction to the rivers unit.

This is the third lesson in a series on Rivers for the new AQA GCSE Geography specification. This lesson covers the processes and features formed in the middle course of a river including transportation, meanders and oxbow lakes.

This is the fifth lesson in a series on rivers for the new AQA GCSE Specification. This lesson covers creating and understanding the long and cross profiles of rivers. Now that students know about the processes and features in each of the three river courses, this is a great lesson to summarize all of that learning and incorporate numeracy into lessons.

Lesson 6/7 on tropical rainforests for the new AQA GCSE specification. This lesson covers both the physical and human effects of deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest.

The powerpoint and resources needed for the first of 3 lessons on ecosystems for the new AQA GCSE specification. This lesson covers an introduction to ecosystems.

Lesson 2/5 on cold environments for the new AQA GCSE specification. This lesson looks at how cold environments can be developed with a case study area on the northern territories of Canada. This case study can easily be adapted if you are unfamiliar with Canadian geography. The lesson first goes over the location of the case study and then starts looking at how this area can be developed through mining, energy, tourism and fishing.

Lesson 4/5 on cold environments as part of the new AQA GCSE specification. This lesson looks at the threats to the cold environment area of northern Canada.

Lesson 3/5 on cold environments as part of the new AQA GCSE specification. This lesson covers the challenges of development in the case study area of the northern territories of Canada. The lesson starts by examining a climate graph of a location in the case study area and from there linking climate to challenges regarding food, transportation, work and housing.

This is the second assessment as part of the lessons on the living world. This assessment covers the case study location of the Amazon Rainforest and the cold environment lessons. The assessment is multiple choice and is out of 20 Marks.

This lesson covers the transportation processes that occur in the Middle course and looks at the formation of meanders. For this lesson there is a hands on activity that requires students to look at 3 different sized "particles" that they have to determine how they move. I used balloons, small tennis balls and balls of play-doh all acquired from the pound shop. You could also use other materials. Students also complete this task while listening to the song Proud Mary because, well, rolling on the river. Enjoy the pun!

This is the sixth lesson in a series on urban issues and challenges as part of the new AQA GCSE specification. This lesson continues the case study of Rio de Janeiro, a city in an NEE. This lesson focuses on the environmental issues in Rio and what is being done to try and solve them.

This lesson is the final lesson in a series on urban issues and challenges for the new AQA GCSE specification. This lesson focuses on revision for the entire unit in preparation for an exam-style assessment.

This is an introduction to the case study for this unit as part of the new AQA GCSE Specification. This lesson introduces Rio De Janeiro as a city within an NEE experiencing urban issues. Students will familiarize themselves with where Rio is, how Rio is structured and some of the issues happening in the city.

This is the fifth lesson in a series on urban issues and challenges as part of the new AQA GCSE geography specification. This lesson focuses on the economic issues in Rio de Janeiro and how these issues link to social issues like crime as well as how these issues are currently being solved.

This is a lesson designed to review what students have done in their coasts unit up until depositional features. This lessons works very well when you put a time limit on how long they have to work on each section and you can follow up each section with a Q&A session to check for understanding.

This is a powerpoint and collection of revision mind maps for each of the units covered in the new AQA GCSE Living in the physical environment spec. The revision mind maps cover: -Ecosystems -Tropical Rainforests -Cold Environments -Coasts Each mind map is divided into topics covered in the spec and has a practice exam question on the back for each topic. These are excellent resources to use if preparing for a mock exam.

This lesson will have students examining and discussing the advantages and disadvantages to genetically modified crops (GMOs), and organic farming and it's application to the rural development of the great plains in the USA.

This lesson discusses the changes seen in the Great Plains in the USA. Students can explain the reasons for these changes and explain reasons for and against the growing of crops for biofuels.

This is an assessment that covers everything from the rivers unit from the water cycle to the processes and features in the upper, middle, and lower courses of the river. It also includes revision, feedback sheet, marking scheme and assessment paper.

If you do not have access to lab resources (see other lesson for what is needed), then this lesson introduces the erosional processes that occur in the upper course of a river.
