Year 7 Geography
Scheme of Work
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.

Ten sections per unit, in the same order every time. One row per lesson, so a unit can be read at a glance. 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.
