Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson Plan: Flooding

Subject

Geography

Topic

Flooding

Grade/Age Group

Year 7

Duration

40 minutes

Number of Students

Objectives

To understand the causes of flooding.
To identify the impacts of flooding on the environment and communities.
To evaluate potential flooding prevention measures.
To develop critical thinking and analytical skills through discussion and group work.

Materials

Whiteboard and markers
Projector and laptop
Printed handouts with data on recent flooding events
Maps identifying flood-prone areas
Videos showing flooding impacts and prevention strategies
Art supplies for group presentations (markers, poster paper)

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Flooding	5 minutes	Begin with a brief introduction to the topic of flooding. Pose questions about their experiences or knowledge related to flooding.
2	Causes of Flooding	10 minutes	Discuss the various causes of flooding (heavy rain, snowmelt, dam failure). Use a whiteboard to list examples and encourage student contributions.
3	Impacts of Flooding	10 minutes	Show a short video that illustrates the effects of flooding on communities and the environment. Follow up with a class discussion about what they observed.
4	Group Activity: Flood Prevention Measures	10 minutes	Divide students into small groups. Each group discusses and outlines potential flood prevention measures. Provide handouts with relevant information.
5	Presentation of Group Work	5 minutes	Each group shares their ideas on flood prevention measures with the class. Encourage feedback and discussion.
6	Homework Assignment	5 minutes	Assign students to research a specific flooding case study in the UK and prepare a one-page report for the next lesson. Discuss expectations.

Homework

Students will research a specific flooding case study in the UK and prepare a one-page report detailing the causes, impacts, and prevention measures. Reports will be collected at the beginning of the next lesson but not presented in class to ensure a non-stressful environment.

Assessment

Participation in discussions and group activities.
Evaluation of group work and presentation quality.
Assessment of the homework assignment for understanding of the topic.

Inclusion Strategies

Provide printed materials in advance for students who may need additional time to process information.
Allow for varied response formats (written, visual presentations) to cater to different learning styles.
Encourage peer support during group discussions and activities.

Resources

National Curriculum for Geography guidelines and outcomes associated with flooding and climate change.
Access to online resources for further reading on past flood events.

Reflection

At the end of the lesson, take a few moments to reflect on what worked well and what could improve, and jot down notes for future planning.

This lesson plan is designed to engage Year 7 students in understanding flooding through interactive and collaborative methods while aligning with UK national education standards.
