Continue your LKS2 unit on mountains with this PowerPoint presentation on how humans have made mountains their home.

After learning key vocabulary, children will learn about how some humans have adapted to living on mountains, such as yurts and terrace farming, then learn about some culturally significant mountains such as Mount Olympus and Mount Sinai; information about these is presented in the first task.

They will then move on to learn about dangers of living on mountains, such as altitude sickness and rockfalls, and how Sherpas or special equipment can help. They will finally find out about the negative impact of humans on mountains, such as mining, deforestation and tourism. Once a case study of human impact on Mount Kilimanjaro has been explored, children will then present information about this for their second task.

They will finish with engaging assessment questions so you can gauge what has been learnt throughout this exciting geography lesson.
