Review: A page of general Geography resources to support teachers in their delivery of this subject. It includes free worksheets, lesson plans, activities and teaching ideas for primary and foundation teachers. One very useful resource is the table of weblinks for QCA geography which links topics and web links with a brief description of what they contain and matches them to the relevant year group. A number of resources, such as the weather records, would save teachers preparation time. The activities that include charts and tables are good in that they offer teachers a way of recording what children have seen and provide an inspiration of how teachers could tackle a project in their own class. There is also a great idea for a game suitable for Year 1 pupils to try to reinforce their geographical vocabulary and their understanding of some physical geography terms. There are a number of ways that teachers can embed ICT into the geography curriculum.
