A range of materials covering the reign of Alexander II in Russia. Items include: diamond 9 exercises; detailed handouts on emancipation and reform. These are detailed handouts that are perfect for revision or for aids to teaching. These can be used with a number of Tsarist Russia courses across all A Level specifications. Please rate and comment, as all feedback is appreciated.

A selection of materials for Tsarist Russia that can be used/adapted for the new specification. Materials focus on Alexander II to Nicholas II (1855-1917). This can be used for all exam boards.

Activities that introduce KS3 pupils to the differences between the British Isles, UK and Great Britain. Also included is a worksheet on the climate of the British Isles. These worksheets are designed to go alongside the Geog.1 text book for Yr 7's. Please rate and comment, as all feedback is appreciated.

Various handouts and activity sheets on the 1905 Revolution in Russia. Also included are materials on the October Manifesto and various opposition groups. These materials are useful for A Level students studying the Russian Revolution and/or Tsarist Russia. This is relevant for all exam boards. Please rate and comment, as all feedback is appreciated.

Various worksheets, activities and Powerpoint presentations on the topic of Brazil. This coincides with the Geog.2 topic. Included are resources relating to Brazil's history, climate, physical features and development. Also included is a fun homework task where students write a house listing for a property in a favela. Please rate and comment, as all feedback is appreciated.

A revision worksheet and matching gap fill for anyone studying peacemaking and the League of Nations. This corresponds to the current AQA GCSE History B specification, however it can also be adapted for any board or age level. Please rate and leave feedback!

Detailed diagrams explaining Marxism and the various opposition groups that emerged before 1905. Also included are handouts on early opposition to Alexander II, Alexander III and Nicholas II. These resources would be really useful for A Level courses dealing with any period between 1855 and 1905.

Included are various resources relating to microclimates that formed part of our field work in Year 7 Geography. Students review how to measure the weather, are introduced to microclimates and then label a diagram. Other resources are for use on the day of the field work, where students walk around the school grounds to pre-determined location to measure the weather; they then think about land use and make decisions. I have also included an 'Exploring Microclimates' PDF provided by School Grounds UK/Learning Through Landscapes. This gives instructions on how to carry out microclimate field work.

Various resources from a Year 8 topic on Coasts (but could be adapted for any KS3 Geography class). Included are PowerPoint presentations (with diagrams, photos, links to animations and questions) on landforms created by erosion/deposition. Also included are two worksheets: the first is a quick starter where students need to match up the processes of erosion with the description; the second is a homework task on erosion, where students have to provide longer responses.

A basic scheme of work for the new AQA GCSE module, Britain: Health and the People, c.1000-Present. Included is a breakdown of the key topics into themes, with a basic structure of lessons throughout the year. Also included are learning objectives and possible activities. Please note, this is a basic SOW to be developed based on your school's timetable and targets.

A selection of resources related to the AQA History specification; specifically the Britain: Health and the People unit of work. The worksheets include tasks on key renaissance individuals (Pare, Vesalius, Harvey etc.) as well as Jenner and general renaissance discoveries. Students will need their blue Hodder text books to complete these tasks and may also require internet access for research.

This is a great field work topic with several different aspects; however, each areas comes under the umbrella of sustainability. Students will need to visit 2 different supermarkets (we visited a small M&S and a large Tesco within walking distance of the school) and find the countries of origin of several fruits and vegetables. As a class we then: labelled these on a blank map of the world (for a display), calculated the distance travelled and created graphs (Excel, cross-curricular with ICT!) based on food miles/carbon emissions. Another aspect was packaging and recycled products. Students had to fill in a survey of the products in the supermarkets; we also interview customers and members of staff for their shopping habits. This all culminated in a huge display on sustainability. This resource can be adapted for any KS3 class and can be used as a stand alone topic or as part of ecosystems/sustainability topics. It would be great for PSHE too!

A fun activity to get students used to inputting data into allocated cells. Students will follow the instructions to add words to different cells on a blank Excel spreadsheet. At the end of the task, the words will come together to form a riddle (Answer: Clock). Students then have to email their answers to the teacher (teachers must insert their email address on to the worksheet), which helps them to repeat this key skill. Students who finish quickly could create their own sheets, using riddles from the internet or ones they have created themselves.

This resource is relevant to the new AQA GCSE specification on Restoration England, 1660-1685; however, it could be adapted for KS3 or A Level. A label exercise with questions on the changing court fashions during Charles II's reign. Students are presented with two images (taken from WikiCommons, open access) and have to label the images using the correct terminology. Students will then need to explain the transition of court fashions across Charles' reign and identify the reasons for this change.

An essential timeline for the new AQA GCSE topic: Restoration England, 1660-1685. Included are the key dates and events from the text book and from wider research (that top level students will be expected to carry out). This resource can be used for reference purposes, revision or mini tests in class time.

This resource is relevant to the new AQA GCSE specification on Restoration England, 1660-1685; however, it could be adapted for KS3 or A Level. A clear and simple labeled map of the key overseas locations featured in the new AQA specifications. Students will need to use their prior knowledge (or complete alongside the text book) to label each location and summarise its significance within the course. Each location was a key centre for trade or land; all locations have been explained in depth in the Hodder text book. This would be a great note taking exercise as the book tends to waffle slightly.

This resource is relevant to the new AQA GCSE specification on Restoration England, 1660-1685; however, it could be adapted for KS3 or A Level. Using the glossary from the text book (and wider understanding) students will need to identify the definitions of 10 key words at a time. These quizzes would be great as a lesson started every 3-4 weeks as new terms are introduced. A larger test could then be put together towards the end of the unit to ensure that students are familiar. I would encourage students to go away and find the definitions for themselves using the text book/internet, as this would make a great homework activity.

A one-page fact file on Sir Christopher Wren to be used as part of the new AQA GCSE topic: Restoration England, 1660-1685. This resource is intended to supplement the information in the Hodder text book. A lesson/homework activity could be to set comprehension questions based on the fact file or to ask students to find out more information using the internet. Another idea is to split the room into two and have a debate as to who had a greater impact on Restoration culture, Wren or Robert Hooke (see other fact file). This is not intended to be comprehensive; it is simply a succinct summary for students that need to be stretched beyond the information in the text book.
