A Key Stage 3 version of the GCSE resource with altered assessment objectives. An introductory lesson to the topic of population. Covers the key definitions, exponential growth and looks at how data can be represented in maps and diagrams. Video links included to illustrate the key themes.

GCSE Courses are now demanding that students discuss, evaluate and reach informed decisions, rather than just learning their case studies well. This activity encourages higher order thinking as well as collaborative skills. Three sets of cards are included: the standard 9 statements, a set of 9 photos that illustrate the statements and a set with just the headings. This allows for a variety of approaches to be adopted. The resource also includes teacher notes suggesting how the activities can be used. The Second part of the lesson then develops into an AFL activity with students guided to attempt a 9 mark question.

A complete lesson with no additional resources required, updated November 2020 for the AQA 9-1 Geography GCSE. The Power-Point covers the key concepts with clear diagrams and video links. Also included are worksheets that cover the 3 cell model formation and how high and low pressure is linked to climate at the equator, the deserts and the UK. Key concepts covered are: the 3 cell model, air pressure, surface winds, convection and the Coriolis effect. This work was covered over two 60 minute lessons. Plenty of alternatives included with three separate worksheet consolidation activities.

A fully resourced lesson that covers the introduction to hurricanes as weather hazards. Differentiated objectives are linked to the new levels. Teacher notes are included for each slide with suggestions on possible approaches. The emphasis is on getting students to engage with the activities and demonstrate understanding.Resource sheets include differentiated activities and allow students to consolidate their learning.

A complete lesson that explores the various causes of deforestation. Whilst it makes some reference to the Oxford Textbook the information is included with the resource and so the lesson can be used as a standalone activity. The information is presented as a diamond 9 activity to encourage analysis of the information and a more evaluative approach. A variety of exam style questions are included to demonstrate the difference between 6 and 9 mark questions. Very little preparation is required - simply print off the statements for the diamond 9 activity.

Also included are worksheets that cover the 3 cell model formation and how high and low pressure is linked to climate at the equator, the deserts and the UK. Key concepts covered are: the 3 cell model, air pressure, surface winds, convection and the Coriolis effect. Jet Streams and their role are also covered. The lesson can be used as a standalone resource with enough material for 2 lessons or to supplement textbook material.

This lesson covers the formation of headlands and bays. I found myself being frustrated by the lack of process detail that students were putting into their answers. They have textbooks but rarely seem to read them closely! My solution was to design these A3 sheets which guide students through the note taking process by getting them to focus on a wide ranging exam style question. The sheet links clearly to the Hodder text and ensures that students also focus on integrating the case study of Flamborough Head where these features can be seen. The emphasis is on applying processes to formation rather than a simple chronological description. The quality of the final written answers has improved massively as a result of using these. The power-point guides students through the process but the sheet is self explanatory and little teacher input is required. Teacher lesson notes are also included. This resource can also be used as revision activity for Year 13.

A diamond 9 activity based on the effects/impacts of the 1980 eruption. Included is a series of suggestions on how to use the resource as it can be easily be adapted to suit the groups ability.
