Students will be able to describe the importance of fieldwork along with why do fieldwork in geography. This lesson contains the basis for a fieldwork investigation around your school that includes a liter count and bi-polar environmental quality survey.
Task 1: Describe which is more accurate data sample set
Task 2: Writing a hypothesis
Task 3: Conducting research at 3 different locations along with the research sheet.
Task 4: Main Task: Write up _ Describe what the research found about the school site.
Task 5: Plenary: Homework for litter pick for further data
Lesson contains one powerpoint and one worksheet.
This booklet includes a wide range of fieldwork based on the Cumbrian coast, that can be adapted for use in any area. Fieldwork techniques include; beach profiles, groyne heights, field sketching, wave counts and defence analysis.
This resource includes two fieldwork booklets that have been used for tourism fieldwork in Grasmere. the activities can be easily adjusted to suit any tourist honeypot. They include amongst other fieldwork traffic counts, physical and human attractions, car park surveys, environmental impact assessments
This is a great field work topic with several different aspects; however, each areas comes under the umbrella of sustainability. Students will need to visit 2 different supermarkets (we visited a small M&S and a large Tesco within walking distance of the school) and find the countries of origin of several fruits and vegetables. As a class we then: labelled these on a blank map of the world (for a display), calculated the distance travelled and created graphs (Excel, cross-curricular with ICT!) based on food miles/carbon emissions. Another aspect was packaging and recycled products. Students had to fill in a survey of the products in the supermarkets; we also interview customers and members of staff for their shopping habits. This all culminated in a huge display on sustainability.
This resource can be adapted for any KS3 class and can be used as a stand alone topic or as part of ecosystems/sustainability topics. It would be great for PSHE too!
Included are a range of urban fieldwork data collection sheets that can easily be used in any urban environment. They include index of decay, housing density, housing age, counter-urbanisation.
This lesson looks at all the parts of GCSE fieldwork but at KS3. It has got a hypothesis, fieldwork techniques, data presentation, conclusion and evaluation sections. Within the price there is a data collection sheet and an A3 follow up lesson write up sheet.
Fully resourced work booklet for GCSE Human Geography fieldwork, following the AQA specifcation.

A comprehensive fieldwork booklet for students to complete in and around Stratford and the Olympic Park. As part of this resource there is also a very detailed example fieldwork write-up for students to use as part of their revision. There is also an A3 resource for students to complete to summarise the enquiry, with some example exam questions to complete. This is a fully resourced set of fieldwork resources for the fieldtrip and follow-up work. It is specifically made for the GCSE AQA 9-1 GCSE, but could be used for any year group or specification.
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
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.
COASTS FIELDWORK: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-13028329
This concise guide can be given out to students to help them plan responses to the 8 mark “evaluate” question.
Provides a guide to implementing different fieldwork techniques.
Although this is relevant for the EDEXCEL IGCSE Course, this may be applicable to other exam boards (AQA, OCR, WJEC, CIE etc) but it is recommended that this is double checked beforehand.
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.
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.

The booklet supports the post-field trip write up by students - and can be used in class or set as an extended piece of home learning.
It covers each step of the the ‘route to enquiry’ and will help prepare students for their Paper 3 examination.
There is a PDF version - and also a Word-version so that you can tweak it to suit you own fieldwork requirements i.e. adaptable for different specifications.
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.
These PowerPoints offer fully illustrated and explained tours of sites of special interest to geologists. There are maps and photographs offering context and explanations of the sites.
