KS3 Weather and Micro-climate
Investigate microclimates across different habitats. Use fieldwork techniques to collect primary data and then compare the results. Students will develop geographical skills, specifically fieldwork and enquiry skills.

Investigate how hydrology changes the physical landscape. Follow the route of enquiry to investigate how river characters change with distance downstream. Students will use the Bradshaw Model to make predictions about how the river channel will change.They will have the chance to take first hand measurements, make observations of distinctive…
Investigate and experience the unique location. Immerse yourself in the environment, collecting first hand data. Carry out a range of fieldwork techniques to investigate the area. Depending on the field site the focus may be physical or human processes, and will explore the interaction between the two.
Investigate the different sectors of economic activity. Consider how they operate in different physical locations, and how they can be sustainable. Students will develop geographical skills, specifically fieldwork and enquiry skills.
Investigate a changing population. Discover the factors that influence the population and how a changing population have impacted upon a local area. Students will develop geographical skills, specifically fieldwork and enquiry skills.
Investigate the management of urban development and how it was done in an environmentally sensitive way. Students will develop geographical skills, specifically fieldwork and enquiry skills.
Use a scientific enquiry to identify and name the variety of animals that live in different habitats. Pupils are encouraged to think about how animals are adapted, how animals obtain their food from plants and other animals, using the idea of a simple food chain and how predators and prey…

The course investigates changes in river channel and drainage characteristics at three sites along the river. Students plan an investigation and collect and record data at each site, including river measurements, field sketches, and observation of human impact on the river. Students will develop geographical skills, specifically fieldwork and enquiry…
Carry out an investigation to complete the requirements of the core practical. This investigation involves the use of a belt transect (e.g. shaded area to an area with no shade). It involves students thinking about how to sample their chosen area, including the identification and observation of plants/organisms.
