Fieldwork opportunities covered: 1. Flash flood event 2. Impacts of climate change 3. Distinctive landscapes 4. Coastal landscape or river basin Develop the geographical, mathematical and statistical skills which are integrated within all areas of assessment in a real world situation with contextualised data students have collected themselves.

2 Example Course Timetable DAY MORNING AFTERNOON EVENING 1 Arrive Midday Students will be greeted by FSC staff, with a welcome talk followed by a brief tour of the Centre and the local area. Impacts of Climate Change Outline of the Course Allocation of wellies/waterproofs. Climate change is one of the most contentious and debated global issues facing us in the 21st century, having scales of impacts from global to local. In this session students will explore the social, economic and environmental impacts of climate change on an area local to the field centre. They will choose an investigation relevant to their location and develop a series of research questions, introducing them to the fieldwork investigative process. Distinctive Landscapes Each field centre is located in a distinctive and unique landscape shaped by a range of geographical processes. In this session students consider how the concept of a landscape can be defined as well as undertake some local fieldwork to explore the processes shaping the resultant landscape. Using geospatial technologies (GIS) students will start to explain the differences between landscapes and develop a narrative to help make sense of the landscape surrounding the field centre. 2 Influences on the Landscapes of the UK Students will visit one of the UK s best fieldwork examples of a river or coastal landscape to carry out a geographical enquiry. FSC field teachers will carefully facilitate students investigations of the processes and systems that play a part in this iconic scenery, including their part in the system. Fully supported by digital sources of secondary data and a GIS, students will extend their competence in a range of fieldwork skills, building their confidence in tackling unfamiliar fieldwork environments. Landscape Fieldwork Follow-up During this evening session students will process and present their fieldwork data. Using FSC s large bank of data from other times and locations they will use their knowledge of relevant geographical theory to explain their results, drawing individual conclusions and summaries. Choose one from the below geographical enquiries: Coastal Landscapes River Basins 3 Hazardous Extreme Weather? Students will focus on the interactions between people and the physical environment through investigating a local and recent example of an extreme weather event. They will discover the events leading to a flash flooding incident and consider how a specific place influences the causes, leading to debating and concluding if and when the extreme weather event became a hazard. Depart at Midday A final farewell from FSC staff as the students depart at midday. Please note: to ensure safe and quality learning experiences for students, the timetable may alter depending on weather conditions and local factors at Centres. This course allows students to practise a range of geographical fieldwork skills by presenting geography fieldwork through an enquiry approach and preparing learners for all aspects of AO4 (skills) and AO3 (application) that they will come across in their examinations. The following areas of fieldwork will be embedded within each day enabling students to build their confidence and competence in enquiry based geography as they progress throughout the course. i. Understanding of the kinds of question capable of being investigated through fieldwork and an understanding of the geographical enquiry processes appropriate to investigate these ii. Understanding of the range of techniques and methods used in fieldwork, including observation and different kinds of measurement iii. Processing and presenting fieldwork data in various ways including maps, graphs and diagrams iv. Analysing and explaining data collected in the field using knowledge of relevant geographical case studies and theories v. Drawing evidenced conclusions and summaries from fieldwork transcripts and data vi. Reflecting critically on fieldwork data, methods used, conclusions drawn and knowledge gained

3 Impacts of Climate Change Students will use long term historical data sets to provide a context for their own data collection to investigate the impacts and possible consequences of climate change on the environment and human societies. They will consider impacts on areas such as weather patterns, seasonal changes and changes in industry, as well as the costs for society, the economy as well as damage to property, biodiversity and infrastructure. Examples of possible investigation areas are: How the sea level rise has affected coastal location; quality and quantity of tourism, local housing stock and erosion of the landscape. How the thermal growing season affects the local agriculture or biodiversity of an ecosystem. How the seasonal changes to rainfall affects the local tourist industry. How ocean acidification affects the local term ecosystem stability of the seas around the UK. How the increase in temperature affects the movement of species to higher latitudes and higher altitudes. 2c - Content of Our Natural World: Topic 2 - Changing Climate 2.1. What evidence is there to suggest climate change is a natural process? (c) Why is climate change a global issue? Explore a range of social, economic and environmental impacts of climate change worldwide such as those resulting from sea level rise and extreme weather events. The impacts studied should relate to the 21st century. (b) Where are the physical landscapes of the UK? Overview of the characteristics of landscapes which make them distinctive including their geology, climate and human activity Extract, interpret, analyse and evaluate information Design fieldwork data collection sheets and collect data with an understanding of accuracy, sample size and procedures, control groups and reliability Interpret tables of data Deconstruct, interpret, analyse and evaluate visual images including photographs, cartoons, pictures and diagrams Analyse written articles from a variety of sources for understanding, interpretation and recognition of bias Suggest improvements to, issues with or reasons for using maps, graphs, statistical techniques and visual sources, such as photographs and diagrams.

4 Distinctive Landscapes Students will be introduced to the diverse and distinctive range of landscapes within the UK. They will visit a stunning local landscape around the field centre and start to explore the processes that make it unique, and how they are different or similar to students home landscapes. Students geographical knowledge will be broaden by being introduced to the geographical enquiry process, in detail, how to form enquiry questions and to the range of techniques and methods used to observe and measure landscape characteristics. Students will consider: the topography and visual features of the landscape around the field centre. way in which landscape is seen and visualised by different people. the possible definitions of landscape and the potential differences and similarities between the built and natural landscapes. how landscape differs from place. the cultural landscape as well as the geomorphology. what factors lead to landscape change and distinctiveness. 2c - Content of Our Natural World: Topic 3 - Distinctive Landscapes 3.1. What makes a landscapes distinctive? (a) What is a landscape? How the concept of a landscape can be defined, including the differences between built and natural landscapes Effectively present and communicate data through graphs and charts Extract, interpret, analyse and evaluate information Draw and justify conclusions from numerical and statistical data Deconstruct, interpret, analyse and evaluate visual images including photographs, cartoons, pictures and diagrams Analyse written articles from a variety of sources for understanding, interpretation and recognition of bias Suggest improvements to, issues with or reasons for using maps, graphs, statistical techniques and visual sources, such as photographs and diagrams.

5 Influences on the Landscapes of the UK: Coastal Landscapes Coastal landscape systems are some of the most dynamic and fascinating in the UK, showcasing the complex interactions between the land and sea. To hold this complexity the idea that maintaining balance requires giving and taking will be explored. This investigation focuses on the characteristics of a coastal location. Students will have the opportunity to investigate a rocky coastal environment and the formation of erosional features making up this landscape. They will investigate the geology and relief of the coastline, together with collecting data on the beach sediment and profiles. Students will use the shoreline management plans and a range of fieldwork methods to consider how the threats to the coast have been mitigated or reduced. They will consider the management strategy that is applied to the location and reasons behind this particular strategy in light of sea level rise predictions. Students will also consider the effectiveness of the coastal defences and relate this to the geomorphic processes involved in shaping the coastline and the impacts on the coastal landforms and the balance of the system. A variety of numerical and cartographic skills including interpreting geo-spatial data in a GIS framework will be used. 2c - Content of Our Natural World: Topic 3 Distinctive Landscapes 3.2 What influences the landscapes of the UK? (a) What physical processes shape coastal landscapes? The geomorphic processes that are involved in shaping coastal landscapes, including weathering, mass movement, erosion, transport, deposition. The formation of coastal landforms including headlands, bays, cave, arch, stack, beach and spit. (b) What are the characteristics of your chosen landscape? Case study of one coastal landscape including the study of the landforms created by geomorphic processes, the geomorphic processes operating at different scales and how they are influenced by geology and climate, how human activity, including management, works in combination with geomorphic processes to impact the landscape Use and understand gradient, contour and spot height (on OS and other isoline maps) Extract, interpret, analyse and evaluate information Design fieldwork data collection sheets and collect data with an understanding of accuracy, sample size and procedures, control groups and reliability Deconstruct, interpret, analyse and evaluate visual images including photographs, cartoons, pictures and diagrams.

6 Influences on the Landscapes of the UK: River Basins River landscapes are an inspiring manifestation of the complex interactions of water, geology and life on vast scales in space and time. Students will contextualise this on a local-scale exploring the variety of physical processes that interact to form river basins; investigating how geology, climate and management impact on the landscape. Students may focus on: Downstream Survey: How and why characteristics such as channel shape, valley profile, gradient and velocity change along the course of a river? Meander Survey: How and why do the meander cross-sections, size and relationship to the flood plan vary? Hydrological Investigations: Investigation of the infiltration rates in various parts of a drainage basin. Management Survey: Investigation of how human activities can lead to changes in the environment of the river basin. A wide range of data collection techniques will be introduced including their limitations and application to different investigations. 2c - Content of Our Natural World: Topic 3 Distinctive Landscapes 3.2 What influences the landscapes of the UK? (a) What physical processes shape landscapes? The geomorphic processes that are involved in shaping landscapes, including weathering (mechanical, chemical, biological), mass movement (sliding, slumping), erosion (abrasion, hydraulic action, attrition, solution), transport (traction, saltation, suspension, solution), deposition. The formation of river landforms including waterfall, gorge, v-shaped valley, floodplain, levee, meander, ox-bow lake. (b) What are the characteristics of your chosen landscape? Case study of one river basin including the study of the landforms created by geomorphic processes, the geomorphic processes operating at different scales and how they are influenced by geology and climate, how human activity, including management, works in combination with geomorphic processes to impact the landscape Interpret cross sections and transects Use and understand gradient, contour and spot height (on OS and other isoline maps) Design fieldwork data collection sheets and collect data with an understanding of accuracy, sample size and procedures, control groups and reliability.

7 Landscape Fieldwork Follow-up Focussing on the final four stages of the geographical fieldwork process, students will: Process and present their fieldwork data. Analyse and explain data collected with reference to their background knowledge. Consider possible conclusions based on the evidence collected. Reflect critically on fieldwork data, methods used and conclusions drawn. Coastal Landscapes: Students will follow up their fieldwork collating, processing and presenting their data to form evidenced conclusions about the extent to which coastal processes affect the landscape. They will use OS maps to locate coastal landforms and explore geological maps to link coastal landforms to underlying geology. Use will be made of ArcGIS Online to enable students to visualise and analyse their data, as well as selecting appropriate graphs to present their data. Students will conclude by critically reflecting on their learning and consider their place in the big picture of landscape and climatic change. River Basins: Students will present and analyse their data in relevant ways, such as drawing cross-sectional areas and scatter graphs, calculating discharge and mapping meander belts. They will reflect critically on the fieldwork data, comparing this to secondary seasonal data and to other river basin data, and will consider how their understanding helps connect rivers with their lives Interpret cross sections and transects Extract, interpret, analyse and evaluate information Select and construct appropriate graphs and charts, using appropriate scales and annotations to present information Effectively present and communicate data through graphs and charts Understand and correctly use appropriate measures of central tendency, spread and cumulative frequency including, median, mean, range, quartiles and inter-quartile range, mode and modal class Sketch trend lines through scatter plots Draw and justify conclusions from numerical and statistical data Suggest improvements to, issues with or reasons for using maps, graphs, statistical techniques and visual sources, such as photographs and diagrams.

8 Hazardous Extreme Weather? Students will apply their knowledge of the enquiry process to investigating a flash flood event, considering both the physical aspects of the drainage basin and human modified landscapes. The idea that small changes in land use or climate can have big impacts for flooding will be explored. The extreme weather conditions leading to a flash flood event will set the scene for students to consider specific place based causes of the event. They will consider the duration and intensity of precipitation during the time preceding the event, saturation levels, infiltration capacities and the nature of the drainage basin. Students will undertake a series of storm simulation experiments, together with a series of GIS visualisations of the drainage basin to build a picture of the events surrounding the flash flood. As students develop their knowledge of the causes they will move on to consider the consequences of the event and responses to the hazard. Flood prediction as well as short and long term responses will be investigated allowing the students to build a detailed case study. Aspects considered may be: Population and urbanisation Deforestation and land use River management Climate change Infrastructure Topography Location in drainage basin 2c - Content of Our Natural World: Topic 1 Global Hazards 1.1 How can weather be hazardous? (b) When does extreme weather become a hazard? Case studies of two contrasting natural weather hazard events arising from extreme weather conditions. The case study will include a natural weather hazard: flash flooding or tropical storms. For the hazard event, the place specific causes (including the extreme weather conditions which led to the event), consequences of and responses to the hazard will be studied Use and understand coordinates, scale and distance Extract, interpret, analyse and evaluate information Extract, interpret, analyse and evaluate information Design fieldwork data collection sheets and collect data with an understanding of accuracy, sample size and procedures, control groups and reliability Interpret tables of data Deconstruct, interpret, analyse and evaluate visual images including photographs, cartoons, pictures and diagrams Analyse written articles from a variety of sources for understanding, interpretation and recognition of bias Suggest improvements to, issues with or reasons for using maps, graphs, statistical techniques and visual sources, such as photographs and diagrams.
