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.
KS3 River Study
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…

GCSE Core Practical 9.5 (Investigate the Relationship Between Organisms)
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.
