HAZARDOUS PLANET

New KS3 PoS Compatible...

This will be a combination of a range of other topics...

The concept is that of RISK and HAZARD.

We will take this as the opportunity to explore WEATHER based hazards, as well as TECTONIC based hazards.

We will be using resources that were produced by Tony Cassidy.

BANGLADESH - Cyclone Sidr Resources

Tony Cassidy spent the October half term of this year in Bangladesh.
As part of his travels, he was asked to create a resource.
The week after he arrived back in England, CYCLONE SIDR hit Bangladesh: the worst cyclone since 1991.

Details of the CYCLONE can be seen on the BBC NEWS site, and there is a very detailed article from the DAILY TELEGRAPH here.

The resource that Tony created is designed to be suitable for Key Stage 3 pupils.
