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
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.
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.
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 odd-one out grid tests the understanding of student’s vocabulary/ keywords for the paper 3 fieldwork and issue evaluation section of the GCSE examination specification for AQA curriculum. There are a full set of answers to explain which one does not fit the pattern- so students can self-assess (AFL) their knowledge. It’s makes them think about the connections between different concepts and ideas, and therefore helps to develop important synoptic links.
There is also my Top-Tip’s for students on preparing them for their paper 3 exam, which may be useful. This worksheet task would make an ideal lesson starter, or revision intervention activity. Ideally, you should print out the slide, and ask students to circle and annotate the decisions with a brief explanation, so it can be stuck into their books for future reference.
A pair of resources, in the same document, to use on a GCSE field trip to RAF Cosford in Telford, and Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker near Nantwich.
Questions are arranged in groups based around exhibits in the museums.
Non-specialists supervising students on the trip can easily keep up with the answers.
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.
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.
