<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>Our fully revised Geography Skills Progression Document is a useful planning document for class teachers and subject leaders in supporting their planning and mapping of geography through school.</p>
<p>This means that class teachers and subject leaders have a very clear progression for ensuring that each geographical-enquiry skill and geography concept are increasingly challenging throughout each year group.</p>
<p>This document also contains progression in fieldwork skills.</p>
<p>Our geography skills progression document maps out skills for the following geographical-enquiry skills:</p>
<ul>
<li>Describing</li>
<li>Analysing, Comparing and Contrasting</li>
<li>Researching</li>
<li>Questioning</li>
<li>Explaining and Understanding</li>
<li>Knowing</li>
<li>Remembering</li>
</ul>
<p>It also takes into account the following geographical concepts, ensuring that these are progressive from Foundation Stage to Key Stage 2:</p>
<ul>
<li>Location and Place</li>
<li>Scale and Space</li>
<li>Human Geography</li>
<li>Physical Geography</li>
<li>Sustainability</li>
<li>Interdependence</li>
<li>People, Cultures, and Communities</li>
</ul>
<p>The key skills are then mapped progressively from the Foundation Stage to Upper Key Stage 2, meaning that geographical-enquiry skills and geographical concepts becoming increasingly challenging throughout the respective keys stages.</p>
<p>Each of these progressions can be used as part of a learning objective or success criteria in geography lessons.</p>
<p>This is also a useful tool to support any conversation with OFSTED to show progression of geographical-enquiry skills.</p>
<p>You might also like our visual fieldwork progression document that shows what maps completed by children - and the expected level of content - at different year groups should like progressively through each year group.</p>

A KS3/ KS4 Geography lesson to improve skills with a focus on population pyramids. Students draw their own population pyramid using UK data. They then describe and explain the patterns in the population pyramid. The final task requires them to compare population pyramids from 4 different countries. Differentiated with extra support for the less able and challenge tasks for the more able. Fully resourced.
A big lesson with lots of opportunity for differentiation and engagement, as well as paired or group work.<br />
<br />
Basically, students learn how to describe places, and then apply this skill. It would work well as a skills building lesson in KS3, or as an end of term type lesson with either KS3 or KS4. <br />
<br />
There are differentiated resources for lower and higher, and a number of ways in which the activities could be undertaken (which are in the lesson plan). There are teacher notes and a lesson plan. The activities are clear, and there are Superstar extension activities. <br />
<br />
---<br />
The main aim is…<br />
This is a big lesson which could be used as an end of term activity, or as a skills building lesson.<br />
Students either learn or develop their geographical terminology and then apply / demonstrate using photos of actual places.<br />
<br />
Key ideas and content…<br />
We can describe places using geographical language.<br />
It is more effective to use the correct key terms and descriptive language.<br />
<br />
To differentiate…<br />
Pass the sheets round on a timer, with the challenge of either adding more key terms or improving existing ones.<br />
Stick the sheets on the wall around the room, give each student a different key term to look for. Students go round the room. <br />
Insist on certain terms being applied.<br />
<br />
To extend…<br />
Insist on a description of features which aren’t necessarily visible.<br />
Students find their own photos and analyse them. <br />
Peer assessment.<br />
There are some tricky terms in the key terms activity, use to stretch students.<br />
<br />
To assess…<br />
Discussion points.<br />
The work produced.<br />
Peer assessment opportunity.
