AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1A: In this lesson we look at what the distribution of tropical storms is and the reasons for it.
We start by looking at what tropical storms are and the different names they are called in different parts of the Earth. the students then complete a map colouring by numbers activity to show the distribution of tropical storms but also their ferquency. The students then add directional track arrows to indicate the movements of the tropical storms. We then watch a short video on the conditions needed for tropical storms to form. The students complete a diagram on wind shear before then complete a match-up exercise on the ingredients needed for a tropical storm to form. We then look at the Saffir-Simpson scale, the students have a worksheet with a faint outline drawing of a house and palm tree. As we go throug the scale, the students adjust the scene according to the damage caused and annoate it with some of the examples of the likely damage. We finish with a 6-mark GCSE-style practice question with some guidance and structure provided for the students.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.
