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.
River Management
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:
- 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.
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.

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.
Erosional Landforms - Coasts
This lessons aims to allow students to gain an understanding of the different erosional processes that occur along the coast, followed by how these create a range of coastal landforms.
By the end of the lesson students will be able to answer the following key questions:
- What are the different processes of erosion and how do they work?
- What landforms are formed by coastal erosional and how are they formed?
Carbon Budget - 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 – The carbon budget and the impact of the carbon cycle upon land, ocean and atmosphere, including global climate.
Any pages referenced are from the Oxford physical textbook.

UK Physical Geography
This lesson aims to get students use to the location of the different mountain regions and the main Rivers located across the UK. This is used mostly for year 7's but can also be adapted to use with the new AQA GCSE Physical Landscapes Topic.
Bundle
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.
Bundle
A Major UK City - Birmingham
This bundle contains all the lessons required to teach 'Urban change in cities in the UK leads to a variety of social, economic and environmental opportunities and challenges'. This is found in the AQA GCSE specification.
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?
Causes of Desertification
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:
- Causes of desertification – climate change, population growth, removal of fuel wood, overgrazing, over-cultivation and soil erosion.
NOTE - When it refers to page numbers please refer to the information provided.
Bundle
AQA GCSE GeographyRevision Bundle
In this Bundle you will get 2 workbooks covering the AQA GCSE Geography exam. It covers the following topics:
Paper 1:

Holderness Coast
This lesson aims to allow students to gain an understanding of what is happening at the Holderness Coastline. It looks at the erosion taking place and the impact this is having on the local area. This is then followed by looking at the management strategies that Holderness has implement and the impact this has caused.
By the end of the lesson students will be able to answer the following key questions:
- What is happening at the Holderness Coastline?
- How is this causing problems for the villages?
- How are they protecting the Holderness coast?
Drainage Basin - 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
Drainage basins as open systems – inputs and outputs, to include precipitation, evapotranspiration and runoff; stores and flows, to include interception, surface, soil water, groundwater and channel storage; stemflow, infiltration overland flow, and channel flow. Concept of water balance.
Any pages referenced are from the Oxford physical textbook.

Tropical Rainforests Characteristics
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:
- The physical characteristics of a tropical rainforest.
- The interdependence of climate, water, soils, plants, animals and people.
- How plants and animals adapt to the physical conditions.
- Issues related to biodiversity.

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?
