AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1A: In this lesson we look at what how climate change may affect the frequency, distribution and intensity of tropical storms.
We begin with a true or false starter. Our first task is to look at the meaning of frequency, distribution and intensity in the context of tropical storms, we also consider the reasons why climate change may affect tropical storms. Next we watch a 7 minute video clip on climate change and tropical storms. The students have some questions to answer on a question sheet. We then look at the distribution and frequency of tropical storms. The students create a map using colouring by numbers and then identify regions which have seen an increase or a decrease in frequency. We then look at intensity and the students use data from the last 40 years to create a bar chart that shows the occurrence of severe category 4 or 5 storms in the Atlantic region. We create a diagram to summarise our findings. We finish with a 4-mark GCSE-style practice question with some guidance and structure provided for the students.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.
