Assessment objectives AO1 Develop extend their knowledge of locations, places, environments processes at a range of scales from local through to regional, national global. To be able to place this understing within its social, political cultural contexts (known geographical material). AO2 Gain an understing of the interactions between people environments, changes in places processes over space time, the inter-relationship between geographical phenomena at different scales in different contexts (thinking like a geographer). AO3 Develop extend their competence in a range of skills including those used in fieldwork, in using maps GIS in researching secondary evidence, including digital sources; develop their competence in applying sound enquiry investigative approaches to questions hypothesis (study like a geographer). AO4 Apply geographical knowledge, understing, skills approaches appropriately creatively to real world contexts, including fieldwork, to contemporary situations issues: develop well evidenced arguments drawing upon their geographical knowledge understing (applying geography).
