A no-prep, 6-lesson geography unit on Human and physical geography: Natural Resources. Written for Year 6 (ages 10-11). Pick it up at lunchtime, teach it that afternoon — every lesson has a full teacher plan, projectable slides, three differentiated pupil worksheets, and an exit ticket.

Driving question: Where do all the things we use every day come from, and how do we share them fairly?
