This immersive lesson takes students on a journey through Russia’s extraordinary physical landscapes, helping them understand how climate, vegetation and relief vary across the world’s largest country. Learners explore the unique features of the Tundra and Taiga, locate the vast Steppe grasslands, and identify Russia’s mighty mountain ranges, including the Caucasus and Altai. Pupils also investigate how major rivers such as the Volga, Ob, and Yenisei shape the land through erosion, transport and deposition. As the lesson progresses, students discover how the landscape transforms dramatically when travelling east into Siberia, developing a deeper appreciation of Russia’s scale and environmental diversity.
