<p>This complete lesson pack contains a detailed lesson plan, PowerPoint, A3 student worksheet, reading material, link to video clip from Blue Planet and photographs for analysis. The lesson title is ‘Blue Planet or Plastic Planet?’</p> <p>The lesson was designed for a successful interview for the post of Teacher of Geography with them theme of ‘Geography in the news’. It uses the recent news of plastics in the oceans and the introduction of the ban of plastic straws in the UK as a theme. The lesson could be suitable for a similar interview, geography club or fun end of term lesson.</p> <p>It is designed as a standalone lesson and no additional resources are required. Students can complete all work on the colourful A3 sheets, therefore it is easy to demonstrate progress throughout the lesson. The lesson is also differentiated for lower and higher ability students.</p> <p>The lesson was designed for a year 9 geography class of mixed ability who have already begun their GCSEs. Therefore, it is suitable for both KS3 and KS4 students.</p>

<p>If you like my work, please follow me for more resources and leave a review!</p> <p>In this <strong>2 hour KS3 lesson</strong>, pupils explore why plastic moves through the open ocean to accumulate in ‘garbage patches’. Pupils consider the sources of ocean plastic and reflect on why so much plastic ends up in the ocean. Pupils are expected to produce a short piece of descripting writing, detailing the horrors of ocean garbage patches. Pupils develop their understanding of ocean currents through a heads and tails worksheet, proving support for weaker pupils. Students then label the main ocean gyres on a world map, before completing a comprehension exercise, where they must explain why the Indian ocean lacks an dense accumulation of marine plastic pollution. The lesson includes numerous worksheet activities and supporting video links.</p> <p><strong>Bundle and save!

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:<br /> <br /> What is the difference between countries, continents and oceans?<br /> Where are the continents and oceans located?<br /> What are the different map projections and why are they used?

A ppt activity that's great for revision of Continents and Oceans (my kids always seem to forget?!) ppt. includes a beautiful embedded video (from youtube) with images of the world from space. My students love this one! (Youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkqnJhEOLdQ)

<p>This lesson looks at place specific location of oceans and seas involving Atlas/ Google Maps work in labeling their own map. Further questions involving locational knowledge, sea routes and some questions on plate tectonics (sea floor spreading etc).</p>

<p>This module explores ocean pollution, climate change and surveying the oceans from Space on a global scale. The packs cover why the ocean is important, factors which threaten its health, the ecosystems within, climate patterns, economic trade across the oceans and what the challenges we face are across these interconnected topics.</p> <p>This module is the first in the Oceans series, which follow on and build upon this knowledge to give learners a comprehensive understanding and ability to think creatively, scientifically and critically about studying the Oceans.</p> <p>The resource makes accessible complex ideas and science around the oceans. This resource can be adapted for learners aged 10-14.</p> <p>Learning outcomes<br /> SCN 3-01a I can sample and identify living things from different habitats to compare their biodiversity and can suggest reasons for their distribution.<br /> SCN 3-05b I can explain some of the processes which contribute to climate change and discuss the possible impact of atmospheric change on the survival of living things.<br /> SCN 4-05b Through exploring the carbon cycle, I can describe the processes involved in maintaining the balance of gases in the air, considering causes and implications of changes in the balance.<br /> SCN 4-06a By researching developments used to observe or explore space, I can illustrate how our knowledge of the universe has evolved over time.<br /> SCN 4-20a I have researched new developments in science and can explain how their current or future applications might impact on modern life.<br /> SCN 4-20b Having selected scientific themes of topical interest, I can critically analyse the issues, and use relevant information to develop an informed argument.<br /> SOC 3-08a: I can identify the possible consequences of an environmental issue and make informed suggestions about ways to manage the impact.<br /> SOC 4-09b: I can assess the impact of developments in transport infrastructure in a selected area and can contribute to a discussion on the development of sustainable systems.<br /> SOC 4-11a: Having researched the globalisation of trade, I can explain the interdependence of different parts of the world and assess the impacts for providers, consumers and the environment.<br /> SOC 4-12b: I can carry out a geographical enquiry to assess the impact and possible outcomes of climate change on a selected region and can propose strategies to slow or reverse the impact.</p> <p><strong>This resource created by Penny Clarke, and adapted by Molly Wickett, is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.</strong></p> <p>Cover image: Algae bloom near the Falkland Islands by NOAA is used in accordance with NOAA’s media and usage guidelines</p>
