Begin the lesson by discussing the importance of the Earth's surface and how human activities can alter it. Engage students with questions about their observations of land changes in their community.

Introduce the topic with a video on 'Air, Water and Land Pollution' to provide a visual understanding of how pollution affects the Earth's surface.

Explain how deforestation and construction impact the Earth's surface. Use real-world examples to illustrate these changes.

Watch the 'Deforestation' video to understand the effects of deforestation on ecosystems and climate.

Discuss the effects of mining on the Earth's surface. Encourage students to identify local examples of mining and its impact.

Explore how human-induced changes can lead to natural disasters like floods and landslides. Use case studies to highlight these consequences.

Engage students in a 'Make a Model of a Volcano' activity to simulate volcanic eruptions and understand their impact on the Earth's surface.

Assign students to complete the 'Preventing Floods' worksheet, where they design solutions to prevent flooding in a town.

Conduct a class discussion to review the key concepts covered. Ask students to share their solutions and thoughts on human impacts on the Earth's surface.

Have students reflect on what they learned about human changes to the land and how these changes can be mitigated.

Use the 'Human Changes to the Earth’s Surface' assessment to evaluate students' understanding of the topic.
