Where in the World (Continents and Oceans)
This lesson aims to get students to gain a better understanding of the continents and oceans and their location in the world. In addition to this it gets student to think about the way in which a 2D map is created and therefore the representation of continents/countries on a map. By the end of the lesson students will be able to answer the following key questions:
What is the difference between countries, continents and oceans?
Where are the continents and oceans located?
What are the different map projections and why are they used?

Sustainable Rainforest Management
This lesson is based around the new AQA GCSE specification. This is a lesson in the unit titled Living World. The main aim of this lesson is to cover the following element of the specification:
- Value of tropical rainforests to people and the environment.
- Strategies used to manage the rainforest sustainably – selective logging and replanting, conservation and education, ecotourism and international agreements about the use of tropical hardwoods, debt reduction.
NOTE - When it refers to page numbers please refer to the information provided.

Asia's Importance
This lesson is the second in a sequence of lessons for the topic Asia. This lesson aims to get students to think about the following:
What is the global importance of Asia
What is a megacity
Then for a megacity of their choice students conduct research:
The wealth and life expectancy
The problems created
Advantages of the city
Interesting facts
If students struggle to find information I direct them to Internet Geography’s Mumbai pages

Water and Carbon Cycles
All lessons and resources needed to teach the Water and Carbon Cycle unit. The only element missing is the 2 case studies.

Coastal Management
This lesson aims to allow students to gain an understanding of the different ways to manage the coast. It looks at a range of soft and hard engineering strategies, and encourages students to think about the advantages and disadvantages of these strategies, before debating which of these would be the best for a particular coast (this lesson uses Southend but this can easily be changed for a different location).
By the end of the lesson students will be able to answer the following key questions:
- What are the different types of coastal management?
- Which coastal management is the best and why?

- The costs and benefits of the following management strategies:
* Hard engineering - dams and reservoirs, straightening, embankments, flood relief channels
* Soft engineering - flood warnings and preparation, flood plain zoning, planting trees and river restoration.

How we use the coast
This lesson aims to allow students to gain an understanding of the different ways we can use the coasts, in addition to the different conflicts that this can cause.
By the end of the lesson students will be able to answer the following questions:
- Who uses coastal areas?
- Why might conflict occur along the coast line?

Tourism in Thailand

How tourism in Thailand has changed over time
The link between tourism and GDP
Why people visit Thailand
The impacts of tourism on Thailand

Hydrographs - AQA A Level
This lesson is based around the new AQA A Level specification. This is a lesson in the unit titled Water and Carbon Cycles. The main aim of this lesson is to cover the following element of the specification:
3.1.1.2 – The water cycle
Runoff variation and the flood hydrograph.
Any pages referenced are from the Oxford physical textbook.

UK Human Geography
This lesson aims to get students to think and learn about the location of key cities/towns across the UK. In addition to this it also ensures students have a clear understanding of the differences between: Great Britain, The United Kingdom and The British Isles.

A Question A Day - AQA Geography
This contains a question a day, starting on the first day back after February half term, up until the 3rd paper. It covers all topics with the exception of the Pre-Release.
The optional topics covered are:
Hot Deserts
Coastal Landscapes
River Landscapes
Energy
Each topic is covered equally to ensure that students are well prepared for the real exam, along with a range of questions to ensure students are practicing a variety of skills and marks.
Each question is colour coded to represent a different topic, which allows students to know what unit they are revising.

Flood Risk and Hydrographs
This lesson is based around the new AQA GCSE specification. This is a lesson in the unit titled River landscapes in the UK. The main aim of this lesson is to cover the following element of the specification:
How physical and human factors affect the flood risk - precipitation, geology, relief and land use.
The use of hydrographs to show the relationship between precipitation and discharge.

Coastal Fieldwork
This lesson aims to allow students to conduct fieldwork based around the coast. This lesson contains 3 individual lessons:
Lesson 1 is a preparation lesson, where students think about what could be investigated at a coastal location, what methods and sampling could be used, in addition to coming up with a hypothesis. This lesson would need to be followed by conducting the fieldwork in a coastal location. Included in this lesson is an activity book that can used at a coastal location with groynes.
Lesson 2 is an assessment based lesson which gets students to present their findings, analyse their findings, before drawing conclusions of their findings.
Lesson 3 is then the feedback element where students are encouraged to improve their fieldwork skills.
NOTE - This lesson is based around Southend but is easily adaptable for any location with a groyne. Also note that MG03 is based around AO4 on the GCSE specification, but this has been reduced to what is expected from a year 8 student.

The Carbon Cycle - AQA A Level
This lesson is based around the new AQA A Level specification. This is a lesson in the unit titled Water and Carbon Cycles. The main aim of this lesson is to cover the following element of the specification:
3.1.1.3 – Global distribution, and size of major stores of carbon – lithosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, biosphere, atmosphere.
Factors driving change in the magnitude of these stores over time and space, including flows and transfers at plant, sere and continental scales. Photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, combustion, carbon sequestration in oceans and sediments, weathering.
Any pages referenced are from the Oxford physical textbook.
