This page lists what we actually have for CCEA GCSE Geography 3910. It is built from the live activities, so it is accurate on the day you read it.
The fieldwork paper, and why its absence is worth stating first
Most exam boards assess fieldwork by putting questions about it inside a content paper. A student answers on rivers, and somewhere in the paper is a question about the enquiry they carried out.
CCEA does something else. Unit 3 is a separate external examination on fieldwork, worth twenty per cent of the qualification.
There is no activity here for it. Not a partial one, not a framework, nothing.
For a department planning revision, that is a fifth of the grade this page cannot help with, and it is better said in the first section than in a footnote. Your students' own fieldwork booklets and CCEA's past Unit 3 papers, which are in our past paper archive free and unaltered, are the resources that do the job.
What is covered
Unit 1, Understanding Our Natural World, has four activities: river environments, the restless earth, coastal environments, and our changing weather and climate.
Unit 2, Living in Our World, has three: population and migration, changing urban areas, and managing our environment.
Between them that is the content half of the specification with reasonable evenness, which is not always the case on this site. The coastal and restless earth activities are the longest at twenty-one and twenty-two minutes.
Map skills, and one activity for a whole strand
CCEA integrates geographical skills and techniques across every unit as AO3 rather than parking them in one place: grid references, scale, distance, relief interpretation, graph construction and data handling all appear wherever the content needs them.
One activity carries that strand. It covers the OS map work and the data techniques, and it is the one most worth setting early, because the skills are assumed by every question afterwards.
One activity for a cross-cutting strand is a start rather than a treatment, and it is worth being clear about which of those it is. If your class is weak on six-figure references or on reading contour patterns, this will help and will not be sufficient.
The written tasks are properly long
Every activity ends with an extended written answer of a hundred and fifty words, with the moves of the answer given as an explicit frame rather than buried in a list of content.
Across this site that is at the demanding end. A great many written tasks elsewhere ask for thirty or forty words, which rehearses having a point rather than building an argument. A hundred and fifty words with a structure is a real paragraph of geography, and it matches what CCEA's longer questions want.
Two boards, two shapes
If you also teach, or moved from, an English board, AQA GCSE Geography is covered here in much more depth, fifty-two activities against eight, and that page explains which case study places its activities use.
The other CCEA subject with substantial coverage here is CCEA GCSE Agriculture and Land Use, which shares the same shortage of published revision material.
Using them
The three activities embedded further down are playable here without an account.
The lists below group by classroom use, worked out from what each activity contains. For how each is meant to be run, see ready-to-run revision activities. To put several in front of one class in order, build a sprint and share one link. Everything else, by subject and board, is on the revision pages.
What this page does not do
Nothing for Unit 3, the separately examined fieldwork paper.
No case study depth. Eight activities is one pass through the content, and CCEA's questions want named, specific examples.
It does not mark the written answers. The structure is there to be followed and a human still reads the result.
It does not track anything, so there is no completion list to check.
