Begin the lesson by introducing the concept of landslides. Discuss how they occur and their impact on the Earth's surface and human structures.

Engage students with a brief discussion on natural and human-induced causes of landslides.

Use visual aids to explain how plants and trees can help prevent landslides by holding the soil in place.

Introduce the video 'Severe Weather' to provide a broader context of how extreme weather can lead to landslides.

Facilitate a discussion on the role of landslides in the natural process of Earth changes. Encourage students to think about both the destructive and natural aspects.

Explore real-world examples of landslides and their effects on human structures and the environment.

Conduct a hands-on activity where students design solutions to prevent landslides using models. This encourages problem-solving and critical thinking.

Use the 'Preventing Landslides' assessment to guide students in illustrating and describing their solutions.

Assign students to research and present on a recent landslide event, focusing on its causes and impact.

Use the 'Rapid Changes to the Earth’s Surface' assessment to evaluate students' understanding of landslides and other natural disasters.

Encourage students to reflect on the lesson by discussing how human activities can exacerbate landslides and what measures can be taken to mitigate them.

Conclude with a quiz to test comprehension of the lesson's key points.

For further assessment, use the 'Review – Earth Processes' to cover broader earth processes, including landslides.
