We were keen to separate Paper 1 and 2 from fieldwork units, and reduce workload, so I created this ‘mini unit’ for the department which includes:
Fieldwork data collection booklet, methods include for each of the three sites: Land use tally, environmental quality survey for old site (old pictures included) and current site, mood mapping for old site (old pictures included) and current site, pedestrian count and questionnaire. Each method links to one or more of our key questions (see below).
26 page work booklet (integrated titles, DINs, lesson tasks, exam questions and plenary tasks)
Knowledge organiser
Lessons 1-3:
*Our physical fieldwork is longer as it introduces ‘generic’ presentation styles and learning of key terms, such as ‘primary, secondary data, qualitative, quantitative…’ This is also available on here.
I have also included the lesson from our Urban Issues section on Bristol regeneration to provide much needed context/ reminder of theory being explored.
Introduction, risks and data collection methods
Data presentation and analysis
What conclusions can we make from our analysis and how do we evaluate our enquiry?
This human fieldwork is based on the enquiry question ‘Has regeneration improved Bristol harbourside?’
Key questions:
What is the land use at Bristol Harbourside?
How has the environment changed?
Which areas are the most popular and why?
PDF and PowerPoint versions are included in order to edit should you wish (enquiry location, school logos, DIN questions…)
All proceeds will help our ever shrinking department budget, which I need to stop supplementing with my own money.

**INCLUDES NEW INFOGRAPHIC
Resources made for Year 9 learning ‘The Living World’ unit whilst ‘not officially’ started their GCSEs… It’s based on Stover Country Park, a local nature reserve to us, but the techniques would suit woodland/ lake ecosystems.
There is no accompanying powerpoint/ lesson- as we use the write up A3 mat under the visualiser to go through the tasks before students complete independently.
This was designed last year with the use of existing resources on the internet for Year 9 Geography lessons; we are moving to a common curriculum next year and it’s a shame we cannot teach it more. Hence why I’m sharing in the hope it will get some more use!
