Year 7 Geography Scheme of Work — KS3 PDF

Six half-termly units across one academic year. The two map units come first because everything after them assumes both: a mental map of the world, and the ability to read a real map of a real place. The physical processes then follow in the order that lets each explain the last.

  1. 1aThinking Like a Geographer: The World, and Where Things Are
  2. 1bOrdnance Survey: Reading the Ground
  3. 2aRestless Earth: Geological Time and Plate Tectonics
  4. 2bRocks, Weathering and Soils: What the Ground Is Made Of
  5. 3aWeather and Climate: Why It Is Like That Here
  6. 3bFieldwork One: The Ground You Stand On

Cover of Year 7 Geography Scheme of Work

Ten sections per unit, in the same order every time. One row per lesson, because most schools give key stage 3 geography a single taught hour a week. Six units: two that build the map, three that build the physical processes, and one that takes the class outside to use them.

Every unit carries a structured case study, an end-of-unit assessment, a knowledge organiser, named map, GIS and data tasks, and the geographical concepts it is built on. Every statistic is given with its source and the year it refers to.

Written to
The statutory programme of study for key stage 3 geography (DfE, 2013)
Intended for
heads of geography, subject leaders and every teacher who has to deliver it
