Identifying human and physical features of the seaside

This lesson is part of The Seaside, a Geography unit designed for students in KS1 and lower KS2 (Y1-3), but can also be taught as a stand alone lesson.

The presentation first explains the difference between human and physical geographical features. It then challenges students to identify a range of seaside features (e.g. cliffs, lighthouse, river mouth) and classify them as human or physical.

In the activity, students identify a range of seaside features and classify them as human or physical.

Easier – Students classify seaside features as human or physical.
Medium – Students label seaside features (with initial letter clues) and classify them as human or physical.
Harder – Students label seaside features (no clues) and classify them as human or physical.

Extension – Students unscramble sentences about the seaside.
