Scheme title Volcanoes Urban Geography Environmental Issues Development in the Horn of Africa Purpose of scheme The unit is an introduction to plate tectonics and natural The unit is an introduction to the study of urban Geography The unit coveres the concept of global warming and extreme The unit introduces the concepts of development, hazards that is later covered at GCSE. The unit focuses on the that is later covered at GCSE. The units covers the concept of weather and looking at sustainable solutcions.. The unit will development gap and inequality. In the unit students will cause and impacts of volcanic eruptions. urbanisation and growth of UK cities. The unit will also then teach students about the Ocean ecosystem and human learn about the concepts of poverty and factors that may compare opportunities and challenges of urbanisation in actions can threaten an ecostystem. prevent or promote economic development. The unit acts as HIC's and LIC's. The unit will also introduce the concept of in introduction to the cocept of development that is covered sustainabilty through looking at sustainable urban living. at GCSE.

End Point Students are ale to identify constructive and destructive plate Students will be able to describe the changing rates in Students are able to explain the human and natural causes of Students will be able to identify countries as HIC's, NEE and boundaries and describe how the movement can cause urbanisation and identify the structure of an urban area using climate and change and describe how human can mitigate LIC's based on development indicators. Students are able to volcanic eruptions. Students are able to identify and describe the Burgess model. Students can explain the challenges and the effects of climate change. Students can identify the explain causes of inequality in development and suggest different volcano shapes. Students and explain the impacts of opportunities of urbanisation in a HIC. Students will then be interdependence between species in an ecosystem through a strategies to reduce ineaulities. a volcanic eruption at a local and global scale. able to make a comparision between a HIC and an LIC. food chain and begin to assess the impacts of human activity on ocean ecosystems.
