Pupil outcome: I can describe the key features of the physical geography of North and South America, including a range of landscapes and biomes. Key learning points: - There is a diverse range of landscapes in North and South America. -...

Pupil outcome: I can understand the reasons why the climate of the UK varies. Key learning points: - The UK has a temperate maritime climate, which means that it is mild with lots of rainfall. - The south of the UK is warmer than the...

Pupil outcome: I can apply my knowledge and skills to explain some of the geographical differences between Asia and Antarctica. Key learning points: - Antarctica and Asia have contrasting climates and are in different climate zones. -...

Pupil outcome: I can explain the many different uses of wood and describe locations where it is grown. Key learning points: - Wood is a versatile material used for construction, making paper and board or as a biofuel. - In parts of the...

Pupil outcome: I can use atlas maps and a globe to locate the continent and countries of Europe. Key learning points: - Europe extends from the Atlantic Ocean (west) to Asia (east), to Arctic Circle (north) to the Mediterranean Sea...

Pupil outcome: I can use a range of geographical sources to describe Antarctica and its extreme weather and climate. Key learning points: - The Antarctic Circle is an imagined circle around the South Pole that surrounds the area known as...

Pupil outcome: I can describe how animals and plants in temperate deciduous forests adapt to the climate. Key learning points: - Animals such as squirrels, hedgehogs, and birds, such as nightingales, can be found in temperate deciduous...

Pupil outcome: I can explain the weather associated with a depression. Key learning points: - Depressions are areas of low pressure where air is rising. - Warm air and cold air meet at depressions causing changeable temperatures and...

Pupil outcome: I can describe the Arctic Tundra and explain what life is like there. Key learning points: - The tundra is a treeless landscape found at high latitudes. - In the winter the tundra is frozen and dark and experiences 24...

Pupil outcome: I can explain how and why the seasons change, and why some countries do not have summers and winters. Key learning points: - The seasons change because of Earth’s tilted axis, which does not change direction as Earth...

Pupil outcome: I can explain why it is winter in the southern hemisphere when it is summer in the northern hemisphere. Key learning points: - In summer there are more daylight hours, compared to winter, the Sun appears higher in the sky...

Pupil outcome: I can use algebra and algebraic manipulation to construct logical arguments. Key learning points: - A logical argument is a series of statements that progress in a clear way. - Each subsequent statement is based on the...

Pupil outcome: I can use a geographic information system (GIS) to visualise the human and physical geography of China. Key learning points: - GIS can be used to visualise the human and physical geography of China. - China is located in...

The Arctic is warming quickly, and this is changing the jet stream—a strong wind high in the sky that affects weather. The jet stream is becoming slower and more wavy, which causes extreme weather to last longer, like very cold winters...

Discover how the grid system of latitude and longitude helps us to navigate and understand our planet's geography.

Ecuador:"Wait! That's not all! After Florence we cross the planet to reach another continent and visit Ecuador. There, you will put one foot in each half of the world, we will explore a national park with an active volcano and you will...

How does the Earth's rotation affect the speed of an aircraft and duration of a flight? Why is it longer to fly east to west? How does the Coriolis Effect and Jet Stream affect this? Join us as we explore and explain this phenomenon!

We’ve all heard that we should keep global climate change under 2 degrees of warming, but did you know that there are many places around the globe that have already surpassed that? Some places around the globe are experiencing extreme...
