North and South America: how diverse are their places and landscapes?

This unit builds directly on from 'The Americas: How diverse are its places and landscapes?', which focuses on the diverse people and landscapes of the Americas. This unit extends and deepens pupils’ understanding of physical and human geography and processes through a case study of the Amazon as a region of Brazil.

Natural resources: what are they, where are they found, why are they important?

This unit provides a foundation for 'Natural resources: What are they, where are they and why are they important?', also for 'Farms and factories: Where does our food come from?' on the origin of foodstuffs and 'Global trade: How do we get our stuff?' on international trade.
