In September this year in response to the changes in the National Curriculum in England and Wales at Key Stage Three, we put together and taught a scheme of work dealing with hazards and responses (including preparedness) at home and abroad. This page has links to the resources and plans that we used. You could use them as they are or tweak them to your needs. I hope you find them useful! Unit One: Hazards and how to prepare for them! The Sequence of lessons including detailed plans and resources which will be linked to below: Website Resources and teaching tips! Lesson One Media Resources for this lesson: Disasters vs Hazards PowerPoint Lesson Two Lesson Three Link to www.edu4hazards.org (website for preparedness for children and youth)
(IMPORTANT: Many of the items to be included in a kit are found around the house but strongly encourage students to talk to their parents about this before removing items to bring into class!) Also give this homework out and allow 1 week to complete! Lesson Four Lesson Five Lesson Seven
Unit Two - Flooding in the UK - what to look for - how to prepare! Key words (can be printed and stuck around classroom) (68mb - pretty large file) Lesson 1: Great water cycle song and slideshow (students loved this - a great starter!) Water cycle PowerPoint Lesson Two: Lesson Three: Assesment for learning reporting part one Lesson Four: Lesson Five: Flooding Advice Leaflet (local for Redbridge) Generic Flooding Advice Leaflet Lesson Six: Hazards and Preparation Questionnaire: Questionnaire (Note this can be put online and is easier to record the results to share with students and parents - I used www.esurveyspro.com for this as it is free and results are easy to look at! New for 2010: 'Geography NOT in the News' - a PowerPoint on Hunza River Disaster. Can your classes solve the problem?
