This one powerpoint contains 4 x 60 minute lessons on the 2025 AQA GCSE Geography pre-release resource booklet. Worksheets included as attachments and some task sheets within the powerpoint too.
Lesson 1 focuses on Figure 1 in the booklet.
Lesson 2 focuses on students reading Figures 2 and 3 and collecting information into the advantages and disadvantages of the project.
Lesson 3 focuses on developing students’ explanations to practise their PEE paragraphs. They also debate whether the project should go ahead.
Lesson 4 focuses on students understanding how to be successful when writing an answer to the 12 mark question.
This is a set of 3 lessons on coastal management, including hard and soft engineering and managed retreat. Holderness Coast is used as an example, specifically Hornsea.
There is also a DME lesson on here which prepares students for the decision making skills required in Section A (Issue Evaluation) of the new 9-1 AQA GCSE Unit 3 paper.
This is an outstanding lesson, full of colour resources and key terminology for the global atmospheric circulation part of the Weather Hazards topic in The Challenge of Natural Hazards.
This lesson needs laptops or computers for students to analyse data on the English Multiple Deprivation Index. Students will look at how the deprivation in Leeds compares to the national average.
This is a lesson where students need laptops or computers to use GIS. The students will learn how to measure the area of the ice sheet covering Britain in the last Ice Age and will also learn how to measure the length of glaciers.
This lesson requires students to use laptops or computers to use GIS. Students will measure how far away certain cities are from plate boundaries and measure how tall volcanoes are.
Two powerpoint presentations which may last 2-3 lessons on reasons why people live near volcanoes and reducing the effects of tectonic hazards.
These lessons are for the new 9-1 AQA GCSE Geography specification.
This is a set of 4 lessons on coastal landforms for the new 9-1 AQA GCSE Geography specification.
It includes geological structure and rock type, erosional landforms (caves, arches), depositional landforms (spits and bars) and an example of the Holderness coast.
All lessons and resources for the Weather Hazards topic in the Challenge of Natural Hazards.
Includes global atmospheric circulation, tropical storms and UK weather hazards.
A lesson powerpoint and resources (probably two or more lessons in terms of time) for weather hazards in the UK with an example of the Cumbria floods in 2009, including the causes, social, economic and environmental impacts and how management strategies can reduce the risk.
Also a section on evidence to show that UK weather is becoming more extreme.
Three fully resourced lessons for delivering the pre-release resource booklet to students.
You will just need to insert the sections on the slides from the booklet.
Examples of questions include:
measuring distances on the map
calculating percentage change, mean and range
categorising arguments for and against building the port into social, economic and environmental
6 mark ‘To what extent’ question
Impact assessment (link to fieldwork skill)
debating/group work
teacher WAGOLL for 12 mark decision making question ‘No’ answer
This is a set of 3-4 lessons on:
- Defining natural hazards, types of hazards and factors affecting hazard risk.
- Plate tectonics theory (including structure of earth and convection currents)
- Distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes
- Physical processes taking place at the different plate boundaries
