The lesson incorporates a range of activities. To start there is a short video clip from the day after the earthquake. Next are slides including maps and plate margin diagrams which can be explained to pupils prior to them completing a gap fill exercise, which explains how the earthquake occurred. After that are a selection of photos of the damage, which can be used for Q and A with the pupils, including a 2 minute video clip of people being rescued from the rubble. I have then included a link to the BBC panorama programme which includes information about the earthquake and explanation of why so many people died. A note taking sheet is included. Next is a fact classification activity, with information about both Syria and Turkey. Finally there is a homework task. All resources are included at the end of the lesson.

This lesson includes details of the Mercalli and Richter scale, with activities including ranking, living graph, map analysis, seismic trace analysis and table analysis. the lesson updates both scales, with current scales being widely used nationally and globally including the Moment magnitude scale, the JMA seismic intensity scale and PAGER. The lesson also incorporates faulting and examination questions.

This lesson has a card sort for the water and carbon cycles at the start to remind students how to classify the different parts of the cycle. After that students are introduced to negative feedback loops. there is an example, then students are required to develop two of their own. Next students are required to develop flow charts to explain the human impacts o the carbon and water cycles. An example for urbanisation has been included for them. the students should develop their own for framing and forestry. They can use the OCR textbook to help them to do this. Resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

In this lesson pupils decide where to locate a new power station: Sellafield, Hinkley Point or Woodgate, Birmingham. They are given a variety of maps and data in order to do this. When they have decided they write a letter (using a writing frame) to the government justifying their choices. There is also a mark scheme to accompany this. At the end of the lesson it is revealed that Hinkley Point has been chosen by the government. the students are given a variety of information about the new power station to interpret as a homework task.

In this lesson pupils will learn about the geology of the river Eden, Cumbria. The lesson incorporates maps, photos and diagrams to help the pupils to develop their understanding. They record their information on a work sheet about the river landscape. They are the required to use their notes on river management (human activity) and river landforms to complete the rest of the river landscapes work sheet. There are a range of examination questions based on the sample assessment materials to show the pupils how they could be asked about the landscape. There is also a mark scheme and a quiz with answers.

This lesson is a case study of the 2019 Australian bush fires. The lesson starts by recapping El Nino and explaining how this causes drought. There is an examination question and mark scheme and a gap fill exercise, which develops into a model answer for this question when complete. Next the students are introduced to the effects of drought in Australia via a YouTube clips and photographs of the 2019 bush fires. The students are given the task of classifying facts about the effects into social and environmental categories before using these and making links between them to construct PEE paragraphs. One paragraph has been completed for them and they are required to write two of their own. After that the students are given a table of adaptations. They have to classify these by scale before selecting the adaptation that they believe to be the most effective and justifying their choice. All resources are included in the PowerPoint.

This lesson starts by giving the students to take lecture notes on El Niño and La Niña. Next they are introduced to the normal weather conditions in the Pacific before being given diagrams of the normal conditions and El Niño so they can spot the difference. Students are then introduced tot he characteristics of El Niño. After that they are introduced to the characteristics of La Niña. In order to develop their understanding the students are then required to produced their own annotated diagrams of El Niño and La Niña on a base map they are given. To further secure their understanding they undertake a discussion activity in pairs. To test their understanding students complete a summary table (answers provided). Next there is an examination questions for students to test their understanding (answer provided). Finally there is a whiteboard quiz. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

This lesson is designed to get students to consider the advantages and disadvantages of re-urbanisation, using the Stratford Olympic Park as an example. To start the pupils are given a definition of re-urbanisation. Next, there are a series of photos and videos to develop the students sense of place and understanding of how the park has changed the area. After that the students are given 9 facts about the advantages of re-urbanisation and are asked to classify them as social, economic or environmental (answers included). They then use a diamond 9 to organise them from most important to least important. They then repeat this task for the disadvantages of re-urbanisation. The lesson ends with a quiz which requires the students to classify the facts into either advantages or disadvantages. All resources and answers are included in the PowerPoint.

This resource includes a wide of data collection sheets which could be used with KS3 to A Level including beach profile, cost of coastal defences, evaluation of the effectiveness of defences, field sketching, groyne height measurements, wave information. They can easily be adapted to any location you are studying and incorporated into your own fieldwork booklet.

This booklet includes a wide range of fieldwork based on the Cumbrian coast, that can be adapted for use in any area. Fieldwork techniques include; beach profiles, groyne heights, field sketching, wave counts and defence analysis.

In this lesson pupils will learn about the geology of the Swanage area of Dorset. The lesson incorporates maps, photos and diagrams to help the pupils to develop their understanding. They record their information on a worksheet about the coastal landscape. there are also photos and factual information about coastal management (human activity) in Swanage. Pupils should use their knowledge of coastal landforms to complete the rest of the coastal landscapes work sheet. There are a range of examination questions based on the sample assessment materials to show the pupils how they could be asked about the landscape. There is also a mark scheme and a quiz with answers.

This lesson introduces animals that have adapted to their environment and then asks the students to apply the adaptation strategy to plants in the rainforest. they are given fact cards on epiphytes, trunks and bark, roots and leaves to take notes on. Finally there is a rainforest plant card sort which matches adaptations, with explanations and photos of plant features, to test the students understanding.

The lesson includes causes, effects, prevention, prediction and responses to the volcano. Firstly, the students are introduced to Mount Ontake and its tectonic setting. there is a gap fill activity for the students to complete, which forms an explanation of how the eruption occurred. Next there are two clips of the eruption occurring to build up a sense of place and an awareness of the size, scale and form of the eruption. Next is a series of photos of the eruption and a classification activity involving case study facts (answers included). This is followed by a series of clips and information about prediction, prevention and solutions. Finally there is a case study quiz to test the students knowledge of the facts. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.
