Introduction

Geography gives students the opportunity to explore the world and to learn how today’s world was shaped and understand the challenges we face in the future. In this AQA GCSE course students will travel the world from their classroom, exploring case studies in the United Kingdom (UK), higher income countries (HICs), newly emerging economies (NEEs) and lower income countries (LICs). A wide range of geographical skills will be developed including: cartographic, graphical, numerical and statistical

TopicMore informationAssessments
The challenge of natural hazardsThis topic introduces students to natural hazards, and three significant types: tectonic, weather, and climate change.

Students will look at physical processes and systems, how they change, and how people interact with them on a range of scales and in a range of places.
Describe the primary and secondary effects of a tropical storm. Use a named example and your own knowledge

Student understanding will be assessed through exam style questions set during lessons and the SENECA revision platform, with a summative end of unit test forming the main assessment
Urban issues and challengesThis topic introduces students to urban population, change and the challenges of sustainable development, and focuses on global patterns of urban change, urban growth in Rio de Janeiro (a Newly Emerging Economy), urban change in Birmingham, and urban sustainability.

Students will look at human processes and systems, how they change, both spatially and temporally.

They will study these themes in a range of places, at a variety of scales and include places in various states of development
Suggest why there is such a low rate of urbanisation in rich countries and why some show evidence of counter-urbanisation

Student understanding will be assessed through exam style questions set during lessons and the SENECA revision platform, with a summative end of unit test forming the main assessment
Geographical applications

Fieldwork

Issue evaluation
Students will be supported in developing and extending their knowledge of locations, places, environments and processes.

In class revision will take place in conjunction with the whole school revision programme.

Fieldwork participation will be required*. A resource booklet will be published 12 weeks before the exam to help students become more familiar with the issue evaluation.

The theme of the issue evaluation will come from of the core topics in the specification. It will also be synoptic – meaning it will likely draw on both the human and physical aspects of the GCSE Geography course.
