1 Geography - Year 7 Revision for Common Entrance Trial Examination in June 2015 The Year 7 Trial Examination takes place in week 6 of the Summer Term, 2015 (the week immediately following summer half term). In order to give you a realistic assessment, you will be given a full Common Entrance paper to complete. I have, however, narrowed down the amount of revision you will have to do for the Trial. This is the format of the examination Section A asks questions about Global Location. Section B is based on an OS map extract and can ask questions connected to any of the topics you have studied over the last two years (Years 6 and 7) as well as topics you will be studying in Year 8. Section C covers Thematic Studies i.e. the five main Topics studied in Years 6, 7 and Year 8. Knowledge of case studies is required for Section C. You are required to answer all the questions on the paper within one hour. To start with you need to know where to find information on the topics we have studied as well as the topics you will be studying in Year 8. Below is a list of sources for revision:- Years 6 and 7 Exercise books these contain class and prep work on three units of study: Volcanoes and Earthquakes, Weather and Climate and Rivers (a full list of topics is given below).
2 CGP KS3 Geography Revision Guide. This is your brand new copy and should be with you by the end of week 1 of the summer term. If there is a delay, I will provide replacement revision notes in your class folder. Set of Case Studies - I have re-written these onto one A4 side for each case study. For the purposes of this Trial Examination I have given you THREE of these to revise (you can break down the information on these further by writing key points onto cards). Class Folder this contains extra information sheets on each topic and a Past Paper (given to you before the Easter Holidays). You should complete this paper and hand in for marking do this by the end of week 3 of the summer term in time for me to give you effective feedback! Here is a breakdown of each section of the paper (RG = Revision Guide):- Section A of the paper You have 10 minutes to complete Section A of the paper. In this section you may be asked to locate the following on a world map (or a map of a specific continent e.g. Africa):- Countries Cities Rivers Oceans Desert the Sahara Mountain ranges Lines of latitude (Cancer, Equator and Capricorn) Prime Meridian (this is zero degrees longitude, passing through Greenwich in London) Time differences travelling eastwards (1 hour forward) or westwards (1 hour back). Be careful! The examination board could ask for locations on a map of the World, UK, Europe or any other continent.
3 For this Trial, I want you to revise places and features in AFRICA. Below is a list of the places and features that you may be asked about in the Summer Trial:- Major global physical features Continents - Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Oceania, Europe, North, Central and South America. Desert the Sahara Oceans and Seas - Arctic, Indian, Atlantic and the Pacific. The Red Sea. Rivers The Nile. Countries Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa. Other global features Arctic Circle, Antarctic Circle, Equator, International Dateline, North Pole, Prime Meridian, South Pole, Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. Major cities and city states Cairo. NB The above is about a quarter of the places you will need to know for the actual CE examination in Section B of the paper You have 10 minutes to complete Section B of the paper. In this section you are required to study an OS Map extract. Make sure you know your four and six figure grid references, directions (N, S, E and W), distances and scale as well as contour lines. If you are unsure about any of these check out the map reading section in your Revision Guide (RG pages ). Also, look at the information below:- Section B - Ordnance Survey Map work You will have to know the following:- 4 and 6 figure grid references (RG page 147). Map Symbols these come with the map! (the key) but it would be useful to know major symbols to speed up answers in the examination e.g. Church with spire or tower, post office, information centre.
4 Identify compass directions:- Identify simple relief features on a map e.g. a slope, a hill, a valley, a river etc (RG page 148). Work out the straight line distance between two points as well as being able to measure the distance along a winding road, river, railway etc. (use the straight edge of a piece of paper for the latter Map Skills Handout). Work out the range of height between two points on the map using contour lines or spot heights (Map Skills Handout). Describe the land use of a part of the map can be a whole host of things including coniferous/non-coniferous woods, ind est indicating industrial estate, housing, roads/railways, quarry, hotel, caravan and camping etc. Identify reasons for the location of settlements along a flat part of a valley, near a river for water, near woods for fuel (early settlement factors), near roads/railway lines/ports (settlement growth!), nodal
5 points (particularly for Market Towns), away from flooding from a large river. Identify reasons for the location of land use such as industrial estates, airports, sea ports, retail parks, business parks etc. flat land for space and expansion, near urban area for source of labour, not too near an urban area as to cause too much disruption, near transport routes for bringing supplies/raw materials in and transporting finished products to other towns/cities, away from potential flooding of large rivers etc. Identify different types of economic activity on a map e.g. Primary (farm, Quarry, Coalmine, fishing port), Secondary (Industrial Estate, works, mill, etc.) and Tertiary (Hotels, Supermarkets/Retail Parks, Tourist facilities such as camping etc.). Describe the course of a river on a map from the source (where land is higher indicated by tighter contour lines), through the middle stage (where land becomes gentler indicated by wider contour lines) to the final mature stage (where the land is virtually flat indicated by very wide spacing in contour lines on a map). Please note that you may be asked to describe the changing shape of the channel as well as the changing shape of the valley. Identify which way a river is flowing on a map look at spot heights/contour heights along the course of the river; the river will always flow from the higher points towards the lower points. Be able to work out the area of a place/land use such as woods using the scale at the bottom of the OS map extract Each square on a 1:50,000 map = 1 square Km / 1c.m. on the map = 0.5 km on the ground, so 2cm = 1 km on the ground. (Map Skills Handout).
6 Section C of the paper This is the Thematic Studies section of the paper. You are required to answer all five questions. Each question will be based on a theme or topic studied in Years 6 and Year 7 as well as topics yet to be studied in Year 8. These themes or topics are listed below. The questions for each theme or topic will ask you about the key concepts. For example the question on Rivers and Coasts may start off by asking you about different types of weathering and erosion. Then you might be asked how material is transported by the river. Finally you may be asked to draw a diagram explaining how a particular landform has been formed (e.g. a Waterfall). You will have 8 minutes to answer each question. Keep it simple and answer the questions directly do not waffle! For example if the question asks for impacts and responses, do not write anything about causes. You must revise the A4 case study information sheets. There is only three for you to revise for the forthcoming trial in June 2014:- The weather and climate of the UK. Economic Activity in an LEDC Nike in Indonesia Sustainable Development Case study Sustainable Development in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Try to make revision cards based on the A4 case study sheets this will cut down the amount you have to revise! Be aware that there are less direct questions on your case studies compared to the old format paper. You are asked more questions on theory linked to your case studies. Below is a list of topics to revise for the Trial. I have provided page numbers from your revision guide to help structure your revision but you may need to look at your exercise books for elements that are not adequately covered by your RG. Again, in order to cut down the overall revision required, I have only included sub-topics related to the Trial Examination).
7 Rivers and Coasts RG = Revision Guide Processes of erosion Hydraulic Action, Abrasion, Corrosion and Attrition (RG pages 53 and 59). Processes of Transportation Longshore Drift (RG page 59 + diagram in class folder). Coastal Deposition (RG page 61). Caves, Arches and Stacks (RG page 60). Earthquakes and Volcanoes The global distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes. Make sure you know where the Pacific Ring of Fire and Mid-Atlantic Ridge are located! (RG page 17 your exercise book is better for this). What is an earthquake? Describe the causes of earthquakes (RG page 18). How do we measure earthquakes? (RG page 18). What are the Focus, Epicentre and Seismic Waves? (RG page 18). How to draw and annotate a diagram of a Destructive Plate Boundary (RG page 16 an exercise book). Why do the effects of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, have less effect in MEDCs compared to LEDCs (RG pages 20, 21, 22 and 23). Weather and Climate The difference between weather and climate (Exercise Book). Factors affecting climate Latitude, Altitude, Distance from the sea, Ocean currents and the prevailing wind (RG page 38). How do we interpret climate graphs? (RG page 39). The UK climate A4 case study sheet on The Weather and Climate of the UK.
8 Economic Geography Employment structure make sure you know what Primary, Secondary, Tertiary and Quaternary activities are (RG pages 100 and 101). The differences in economic development between MEDCs and LEDCs (RG pages 89 and 94). Factors affecting the location of an economic activity (RG page 102). How does Nike bring both benefits and problems to LEDCs such as Indonesia? (A4 case study sheet on Nike). What are the processes involved in making their products (what goes on in the factories?) and what are the outputs (the goods Nike makes). Environmental Issues Key terms such as Stewardship, Conservation and Exploiting Resources (RG page 115). National parks in Britain. Why is it important to preserve such areas? (RG pages 123 and 124). Case study Sustainable Development in the Yorkshire Dales National Park (A4 case study sheet). You must know the various ways the National Park is being MANAGED and be able to describe some of the PROBLEMS which management brings to the area. The list of topics above are substantially less than what you will have to learn for the final CE examination at the end of Year 8. This should give you a fair chance of scoring a decent mark in the trial examination. We will be practicing global location and map work in the lessons leading up to your Trial. I have given you a past paper to look at over the Easter Holidays remember some of the topics in this paper will not appear in your trial in June. Keep the paper save as we will be doing a few questions from it as part of the revision programme in the summer term. GOOD LUCK!
