A short assessment that could be completed in 40 minutes for KS3 students. Includes questions on erosion, deposition, landforms and defences. Aimed at mixed ability classes - most pupils should be able to complete most of the sheet, with a couple of mildly challenging questions at the end. Now with assessment grid.

Some example questions to practice technique and timing with the pre-released materials

These resources should be used together in class or for homework, and are a good way to assess understanding of population pyramids - structure, implications, etc.

Fill in the blanks about the greenhouse effect, which is thought to be a cause of climate change. Included is an answer sheet, a higher ability sheet with limited clues, and a lower ability sheet with less complicated language and more clues.

Differentiated worksheets about the formation of a hurricane.

When used with the David Attenborough documentary on BBC (below), this resource with some discussion could be an excellent overview on climate change with detail enough to support GCSE knowledge well. Certainly a relief from text-based work! https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00049b1/climate-change-the-facts

Two 9 mark question worksheet/notes sheet to support with how to answer them. One about urban places and one about tectonics.

4 Geography lessons about the Arctic Circle and who manages the area

I used the first 35 minutes of this documentary to enable my classes to see some of the impacts of fracking in the USA as part of our learning about an example of bridging the gap between fossil fuels and renewables. We go through the correct answers and discuss for 10 minutes. https://watchdocumentaries.com/gasland/ There has been a second docuemtary more recently but this one is easy to understand with core issues at the beginning which makes it easy to deliver.

Using Google sheets, I have created a recall table for each topic. It is RAG themed, and covers the optionals we have chosen but is easy to edit, print and share with students. All they need to do is fill a box with colour when they have tested their recall ability on a section (done some revision) that corresponds with their confidence. Ideally, over time they will see an easy visual presentation of their progress.

Assessing some of the key knowledge and skills that should have been covered at KS2 - as well as one or two more challenging questions. The marksheet is also included, but the levels have been removed, in line with government changes. A student that answers well and achieves more than 70% is at a good starting point for KS3.

General overview documents of what to teach when, what to cover and for how long. Years 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Using the national curriculum, and linking to the 9-1 GCSE in order to focus the planning of SOWs

A combination of varying levels of questions

Could be useful for students that find it difficult to choose ‘important’ words to use in their work

These resources were created using the Edexcel B spec. Our school has decided not to share levels with students until their final year, which is why there is one copy with levels (teacher copy) and one without (student copy).

Including lessons and resources on: 1. Obesity 2. Poaching 3. Pollution 4. Rio Olympics 5. Brexit 6. LGBT around the world There is also a blank worksheet for use in an ICT session or to set as a homework task

An introduction to comparing urban and rural life in the UK for Geography Edexcel B 2016, using Birmingham and the Peak District as case studies.

To be completed by teachers and used in books for students to be aware of goals and progress over time

Can be used as display materials or as a tracker in students books/folders. I have attached a student copy (without levels) and a teacher copy (with levels).
