We have developed a suite of exciting and engaging online resources to enliven geography lessons at KS3.
Up-to-date and ready to use but easily adaptable, with support for teachers not trained as geographers, they cover both new and familiar topics from Climate Change to 2012 Olympics in an innovative way.
Combining up-to-date geographical research with taster online lessons led by well known faces in the media, they will are an essential resource for teaching about the new national curriculum for KS3 launched in 2007.
