Geography Fieldwork In My Local Area Everything you need to cover the Key Stage 2 Fieldwork section of the National Curriculum. Great for KS3 recap or foundation. I have also included some geographical skills. The work is divided into 3 sections. Includes: animated & interactive vibrant power points, identification card, worksheets, guidance grid and IT activities . I have also added some free improvement stickers. Each power point can be adapted to meet the needs of your learners. This pack would also be suitable for KS3 if your students have not covered fieldwork in their primary school. This will save you so much time. It is easy to follow and will help students build their confidence in geography. You can teach the sections at your own pace and the ppts can be easily tweaked to your class. The booklet is in pdf. My aim is to improve the transition from primary to secondary geography. Suitable for a non-specialist. To help SEN students I have included a variety of learning styles. All font is in Comic sans, to support dyslexic learners. The ppts can be easily adapted to meet the needs of higher-level learners.

This is a resource that offers model answers for both the human and physical questions typical in the Geographical Skills paper. It is based on a river study (width, depth and velocity) and a town survey (function of the settlement). The two questions studied are (1) ‘As velocity increase, width and depth also increase’ (2) Church Stretton caters for an ageing population’. It looks at the purpose of the enquiry, characteristics of the study area, data collection (methodology), presentation, conclusion and evaluation.

This work booklet is designed to get students critically thinking about fieldwork design. There is a bigger focus within this booklet towards river and urban investigations but it is relevant for general fieldwork too. Students will look at the difference between qualitative and quantitative data and methods of how to collect each. Students will look at different sampling methods and identify which sampling method has been used in different examples given. Students will then calculate the mean, median, mode and range for examples given. Students will also be introduced to the meaning of anomalies and why they might occur. In addition students will think about risks for two different types of investigation (river and urban) and how they can be overcome. Once students have worked through the technical stuff they will be given investigations with the hypothesis, equipment and methods use. Students will critically analyse the investigations with prompts given to guide students answers.

Myself and my department have worked really hard to produce this lesson guide and booklet to enable the teaching of the Unseen Fieldwork aspect to AQA Paper 3. This includes 4 lessons and a student workbook. We have used AQA 2022 guidance, the AQA textbook, as well as previous exam questions to structure the content to ensure all aspects of field work are covered. Setting up a geographical enquiry Collecting data Presenting data Analysing data and reaching conclusions Please note we have not previously taught fieldwork content to our classes, nor completed any fieldwork element of the course.

These worksheets take your pupils through the organisation of a fieldwork trip suitable for studying how rivers change from upstream to downstream. This resource is based on the River Caldew in Cumbria, but the maps can be easily adapted to a location near you. The worksheets take the pupils through identifying a hypothesis, locations, and completing a risk assessment for the trip. The data that can be recorded on the sheets are cross sectional area, width, and velocity of river at three different sites. This is a ready made resource that will enable you to complete a fieldwork day in your local area.

This lesson aims to allow students to conduct fieldwork based around the coast. This lesson contains 3 individual lessons: Lesson 1 is a preparation lesson, where students think about what could be investigated at a coastal location, what methods and sampling could be used, in addition to coming up with a hypothesis. This lesson would need to be followed by conducting the fieldwork in a coastal location. Included in this lesson is an activity book that can used at a coastal location with groynes. Lesson 2 is an assessment based lesson which gets students to present their findings, analyse their findings, before drawing conclusions of their findings. Lesson 3 is then the feedback element where students are encouraged to improve their fieldwork skills. NOTE - This lesson is based around Southend but is easily adaptable for any location with a groyne. Also note that MG03 is based around AO4 on the GCSE specification, but this has been reduced to what is expected from a year 8 student.

This resource includes a range of materials to help you prepare studnets for the exam, including worked exam questions, a revision PPT, past paper exam questions with commentary, summary sheets, and key terms. The worked exam questions provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to approach different types of questions and how to structure your answers effectively. The revision PPT is a visual aid that summarises the key information regarding unfamiliar fieldwork. The past paper exam questions with commentary allow you to practice exam-style questions and receive feedback on your answers, so you can identify areas where you may need to improve. The summary sheets and key terms provide a quick reference guide to important concepts, making it easier to review the material quickly. The resource pack also covers both Unfamiliar and Familiar fieldwork, which means that you can easily adapt the materials to your own fieldwork experiences. This pack also includes resources that focus on Coasts and Urban environments.

I have created a powerpoint and an accompanying student booklet that provide an opportunity for students of geography at KS3 to participate in ‘in-house’ fieldwork. This forms a perfect prerequesite to the GCSE AQA Fieldwork requirements and allows students to prepare for the fieldwork style of questions and data collection early. Made for my current school however could be easily adapted by changing headings to the name of your school. As you can see I have adapted from my first school to suit my second school etc. The project focuses on: Government initiatives for the ‘sustainable school’ Government definitions and doorways of a ‘sustainable school’ 3+ data collection techniques including bipolar survery, field sketches, photographs and litter/bin counts. Write-up opportunities Final speech/poster composition as an assessment outcome

A compendium of 44 of the most common data recording sheets used in geography fieldwork. Easy to copy and use multiple times with students in the field and covering a wide variety of topics that suit all secondary key stages.

Fieldwork is an essential component of geography education. It enables pupils to better understand the ‘messiness’ of ‘geographical reality’, develop subject knowledge, and gain a range of skills that are difficult to develop in the classroom alone. This resource area on the GA website aims to help teachers to introduce and develop fieldwork with students in both primary and second schools. It acts as a portal to existing resources on this and other websites, rather than as a self contained programme of guidance and activities.

A knowledge organiser for the AQA human and physical fieldwork. The human is based around tourism in Swanage and the physical is focused on managing longshore drift along the Swanage coastline. They could be easily adapted to your own chosen fieldwork sites.
