This unit of work encourages students to appreciate the links between music and Geography, through traditional music and Eurovision. Why music is popular, the many genres and when music is used is studied and investigated for its links.
Traditions from Brazil, China, England, India, and Russia are investigated for their similarities in instruments, dances, and festivals. Music as an economic activity is explored, in addition to festivals in the United Kingdom and why they maybe located where they are. Local venues to the students, both indoors and outdoors, are investigated for their suitability for hosting a music festival.
The history and who participates in Eurovision is discussed with the positive and negative impacts of having such an event hosted in their country or town. How such an event can cause community conflict through economic, social, and environmental impacts, as well as how these events could be made more sustainable are explored.
The unit concludes with the students designing a brand and logo for a sustainable music festival at their school. The final designs are then peer assessed.
A range of individual and group activities are incorporated within this booklet, including, gathering research from print, annotating maps, their thoughts, and ideas, calling on their local knowledge and effectively assessing other work.

This booklet allows students to explore tourism from its definition to types of tourism and their impacts. The unit starts by introducing the difference between leisure and tourism, where we holiday, the types of tourism available to us and how our holidays have changed and grown.
Tourism as an economic activity is explored in terms of the employment and GDP generated. Impacts of tourism are investigated in the unlikely but busy location of Antarctica, while the management of these social, economic, and environmental impacts are highlighted in our National Parks.
Sustainable and eco-tourism is researched looking at strategies in place around the world and specifically at the Galapagos Islands. Blackpool, UK, is used to explain Butler’s Cycle of Tourism Model and leads into the exciting topic of Movie-Induced Tourism. Book, film, and television are used to highlight how they can encourage tourism growth to particular areas and the positive and negative impacts this can have before, during, and after production.
The unit concludes with the students creating their own Movie-Induced tour. They will create a short introduction video to tourists to your country and design a week’s holiday for visitors to include a major city, seaside resort, historic town, countryside area and a special place of their own.
A range of individual and group activities are incorporated within this booklet, including, gathering research from print and video, their thoughts, and ideas, drawing and reading various graphs including completing a choropleth map from gathering data to finished map with description of findings, annotating maps, scripting a podcast, poster design with peer assessment, completing a fact file and developing their own holiday schedule.

This unit of work begins with how mountains are defined, where they are located and how they are formed. We look at the weather in mountainous areas and its effects on shaping mountains. We explore the human and physical influences on landslides, avalanches, and glaciers. An investigation delves into how we use mountainous areas, specifically The Alps and Atlas Mountains. This leads to exploring Everest Base Camp and the Chagga people who live on Mount Kilimanjaro.
The social, economic, and environmental impacts of visitors is discussed with a look at how negative impacts could be diminished within the Lake District. The foreign influence on the Sherpas way of life is studied. We see how plants and animals’ can adapt to life in the Andes which leads to the future of our mountains in terms of climate change and global warming.
The students build on the fieldwork techniques of interpretating photographs and field sketches with Sugarloaf Mountain and Table Mountain. This concludes with asking: “are there monsters in our mountains?” looking at evidence for and against the existence of The Yeti…
A range of individual and group activities are incorporated within this booklet including annotating maps, completing flow diagrams, gathering research independently and from provided print, hands on experiments, case studies, and a peer assessment task

This Unit Of Work helps students to define ‘food deserts’ and outline research which has attempted to identify these within the United Kingdom. They will be able to explain how the location of food outlets within the United Kingdom and America influence the geography of affordable health food baskets and identify what is meant by ‘obesogenic environments.’ In addition, they will be able to establish whether the physical environment has an impact to exercise and whether there is a link between social deprivation and fast-food availability.
A range of individual and group activities are incorporated within this booklet for students including; drawing and explaining their thoughts and ideas, drawing maps and graphs and interpreting all of these.
