The lesson plan is for a class of 25 pupils in Year 9 to continue their study of Antarctica through a carousel activity. The intended learning outcomes are for pupils to identify key features of Antarctica including climate, wildlife, population, discovery, and location. Pupils will work in groups to gather information from different worksheets and record their findings on an individual study template (IST) that will be assessed in their next lesson. The teacher's role is to circulate and ensure learning is taking place while pupils quiz each other on the information they are recording. A plenary session will involve pupils summarizing what they learned and identifying questions for the next lesson.
