Lesson to get pupils to understand the weather associated with the passage of a depression. Involves pupils putting together a pop up diagram to show what the depression would like on a weather map, in cross section and what weather would be experienced as the depression passes over Britain. At the end of the lesson to test understanding there are some questions asking pupils to describe the weather at certain locations. To go with this there is a peer assessment sheet to indicate what went well and what would be even better.

Designed for the new AQA GCSE. Pupils create fact files comparing the two earthquakes uses the Oxford textbook (one with the ant on the front). Works really well as a cover lesson or as flipped learning for pupils to complete at home.

Lesson designed for new AQA. Includes some practice exam questions.

The lesson is a carousel activity with four stations covering the location, primary effects, secondary effects and responses. At each station there are a choice of 3 different differentiated activities to complete.

A lesson covering how weather forecasts are made, how they are interpreted and how useful they are. Includes a support work sheet for lower ability. Also weather forecasts interpretation exercise to improve skills and an exam style, to what extent question, with peer assessment sheet.

Activity for pupils to draw and compare population pyramids for The Gambia and The UK, using 2023 data. There is a outline set of axes with an example plot on it for lower ability pupils and a labelling activity to pupils to demonstrate their ability to interpret the graphs. In addition there is a visual hexagons task which asks pupils to explain various factors and their influence on population size and structure which would make a good homework task.

Introduction lesson to hot deserts. It covers what they are like, locations, climate, as well as plant and animal adaptations. Includes map and atlas skills, climate graph plotting and data calculations.

Pupils show their knowledge of the layers of the earth by creating a design for a machine to dig to the centre of the earth and annotating it. Includes a self/peer/teacher assessment table which can be highlighted for quick marking.

This lesson starts with a tourism recap using a domino activity. Then pupils are taught about what ecotourism is and pupils then assess two real examples to determine how sustainable they think each one is. They then have to design their own eco tourist resort to demonstrate their understanding. The task is differentiated so that lower ability pupils can use a list of characteristics they can choose from. There is also a mark scheme for pupils to self or peer assess their designs.

Data and graph outline to enable pupils to draw population pyramids for the UK and Nigeria using 2023 data. Also includes some thinking skills activities and a population hexagon sheet for homework. Works well as a cover lesson.

This lesson contains differentiated resources for pupils to understand the significance of factors affecting the damage done in an earthquake. Pupils start by guessing the magnitude of an earthquake from the magnitude and a photo. This is to get them thinking about the role of magnitude in fatalities. Pupils then create a hypothesis to predict the relationship between magnitude and fatalities. There is data and a graph outline (for lower ability pupils) to draw a scatter graph to see what the link is. Pupils then think about the other factors that affect earthquake impacts and create a significance star to show which factors they think are most important. They then write a paragraph to justify their decisions. Lastly there is a post it note based plenary so that you can assess their understanding.

Pupils plot the track and strength of Hurricane Matthew they then predict where will see the greatest impact and then compare this to the death tolls experienced by each area.

Case study on opportunities for development in the Thar Desert. There is an A3 summary sheet to complete during the lesson featuring map work, statement sorting and a higher level explanation task as a plenary or homework depending on the length of your lesson. It also excludes a practice exam question and mark scheme.

6 multiple choice quizzes and answers on tectonics, weather hazards, rivers, coasts, ecosystems and climate change. Great for revision or a quick end of topic assessment.

Lesson activities including map work on the location of Nepal, describing the causes of the earthquake from maps and diagrams (support sheet provided for lower ability pupils), a differentiated effects task (higher ability pupils create effects cards after reading news paper articles) including a diamond 9 exercise. Also includes a homework task asking pupils to think about priorities after the earthquake and what should be included in an earthquake kit and why.

Data and graph outline to enable pupils to draw population pyramids for the UK and India. Also includes some thinking skills activities and a population hexagon sheet for homework. Works well as a cover lesson.

A differentiated lesson for pupils to understand how plate movements lead to volcanic eruptions. There are differentiated resources to allow pupils to write their own explanation of how a volcano erupts at a destructive plate margin. This is follwed by pupils learning the structure of a volcano. Finally pupils learn the difference between shield and composite volcanoes and how their eruptions may differ.

Multiple choice end of topic quizzes with answers for the Urban, Economic and Resources modules. There are some case study specific questions but these can easily be amended if they are not the ones you use. These are great for revision.

Word mat for the coasts topic used by sticking it on the desk to support lower ability pupils.
