AQA GCSE Geography lesson for unit 2C: Water Management section. The lesson is approximately one hour long. We start the lesson with a photo mystery around a hydro-electric dam, we use this as a way to start discussing what dams have to do with increasing water supply. The pupils then go on to use a foldable template to look at four different ways that water supply can be increased. The pupils will also create separate sections for examples of dams & reservoirs and also water transfers. We then look at the global pattern of desalination. The pupils will answer questions from the map. We finish with a simple quiz about water surplus (and deficit) using some of the knowledge they should have gained from the last three lessons.

In a nutshell the lesson includes

Starter: Photo mystery used for discussion
Foldables exercise on four methods of increasing water supply
Differentiated map interpretation task
Find the countries with a water surplus quiz.

Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.
