KS3 Geography — Waves and Tides — Extension Pack

🌊 Stretch high achievers further with four ready-to-use enrichment activities on waves and tides — no preparation required. Waves are caused by wind blowing over the sea's surface, while tides are the rise and fall of sea level caused by the Moon's gravity, and these tasks push students to apply that thinking, for KS3 students aged 11–14.

📦 What's included:

Vocabulary Matching (12 terms) — covering all key terminology from fetch and swash to constructive and destructive waves

Challenge Quiz (25 marks) — harder short answer questions, a data table analysis task on wave energy and erosion rates, and extended reasoning questions

Holderness Coast Case Study (20 marks) — real-world coastal erosion in East Yorkshire, exploring how fetch and destructive waves drive cliff retreat and how coastal management responds

Teach It Back task — students write their own guide to waves and tides for a younger audience, assessed with a provided rubric

Full answer keys and marking guidance included for all four activities.
