Chi Squared Test Calculator
An Excel spreadsheet which automatically calculates the critical value for the Chi Squared Test.
A good way for students to check their long-hand working, or a way to analyse primary data for students who are unconfident in their maths skills.
Z Scores Value Table
A value table used to calculate probabilities from (single value) z scores.
Responsible Conduct in Fieldwork
With students increasingly having to consider the ethical and moral impacts of their fieldwork, this guide highlights some of the key areas they should think about while they plan and carry out their fieldwork.
Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient
A guide to using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient in geographical research. The guide includes suggested areas where this statistical test could be used as well as a fully worked example for students to follow.
Signage Survey
A data collection sheet to help students record signage as part of a geography fieldwork investigation.
How to measure the height of a feature
A field guide explaining how students can measure the height of a feature such as a cliff, a tree or a building.
How to draw a field sketch
A field guide for students undertaking fieldwork and doing a field sketch. The guide talks students through key tips as well as common pitfalls.
Weathering survey
A data collection sheet which allows students to record various aspects relating to weathered rock faces as well as score the degree of weathering using the Rahn Index.
How to complete a methodology table
A guide to help students scaffold the write up of their data collection phase following geography fieldwork. The guide includes key tips as well as common pitfalls to avoid.
Wave survey
A data collection sheet which allows students to record various aspects of wave movement including height and frequency. These measures can then be used to calculate wave energy.
Make your own fieldwork equipment
A book of nine step by step guides showing how to make a variety of pieces of fieldwork equipment using scrap or low cost materials.
Landscape Question Grids
A set of eight question grids that students can use when they first go to a new landscape. They encourage students to examine their environment more carefully and through a geographical lens.

Each landscape has both a standard and advanced set of processes, features, issues and opportunities for students to try and spot in the field.
Building Independent Research Skills at A Level
This book offers advice to A Level geography teachers looking to create higher and more sustainable levels of independent research skills in their students, specifically for those looking to complete the NEA (Independent Investigation). The book also contains nine classroom-ready worksheets which provide tasks and guidance to students.

A set of Excel spreadsheets which automatically calculate critical values for six of the most widely used statistical tests in geography A Level:
Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient
Mann Whitney U Test
Chi Squared Test
Student’s T Test
Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient
Simpson’s Diversity Index
A good way for students to check their long-hand working, or a way to analyse primary data for students who are unconfident in their maths skills.
Using Statistics in A Level Geography
A forty page book designed to show A Level Geography students how they can use statistics in geographical research, and especially in their NEA (Independent Investigation). The guide contains information on how students might choose a particular statistical test and then goes into detail about twelve of the most commonly used tests.
For each statistical test there is a section which:
- describes how the statistical test works
- gives a range of examples of research angles that might use that statistical test
- provides a step-by step guide, showing students how to carry out that particular statistical test through a worked example
Where necessary, significance tables or critical value tables are also included.
