Case study at a local scale of a specified place in a hazardous setting

(1)
AQA Geography A level hazards resource. This is a model answer for the essay question below: With reference to a local scale of a specific place in a hazardous setting, assess the extent to which the physical nature of hazards can shape the character of a community and its ability to respond to risk. (20 marks) I have written this question and model answers to help students revise this section of the course: Case study at a local scale of a specified place in a hazardous setting to illustrate the physical nature of the hazard and analyse how the economic, social and political character of its community reflects the presence and impacts of the hazard and the community’s response to the risk. Having looked at the textbooks for the section, I felt that the materials on offer were not very effective. Therefore, I have created this document with a model question and answer as well as supporting web links that have maps and diagrams that can be effectively used to create an ‘analyse’ type question. This resource has been seen by an AQA advisor who confirms that it effectively teaches this element of the course. This resource will require a one hour lesson and homework to teach with.

Local study Traffic problems set of 4 worksheets. KS2. Worksheet 1: Pupil traffic survey for pupils to investigate traffic flow on a street nearest to their school (morning, lunchtime, afternoon). The worksheet is simple to use with pictures for easy completion. Pupils count using a tally. Great for small group with an adult. I used this and gave a different group of 6 the task on a specific day of the week. All pupils had a chance to carry out the survey. By the end of the week, we had a picture of the road traffic problems over the course of a week at three different times of the day. Was great for comparison work. Worksheet 2: A set of follow up questions stemming from the survey plus 4 questions asking pupils their opinions about the road after the survey eg how safe do you feel riding a bike on this road? Worksheet 3: Problems caused by traffic through a picture/phrase matching task. Worksheet 4: Improving traffic issues by using road signs in town centres.

Case study - River Exe (AQA A Level)

(1)
This is a lesson used to address the demands of 3.1.1.6 case studies part of unit 3.1.1 Water and carbon cycles of the 2 year AQA geography A-level (7037). This lesson allows students to apply their understanding of the water cycle to a river catchment at a local scale (River Exe, Devon). The lesson starts by introducing the students to the River Exe and its characteristics using a group work activity where students have three attempts to match the data provided to the correct statement (answers included). Students then interpret a hydrograph showing the regime of the river Exe. Having read the information on pages 52/53 of the AQA geography textbook (Oxford), students then complete the template suggesting how each of the factors listed affect the water cycle in the River Exe catchment. To reinforce the students learning and place specific details of the case study there is a version of the activity know as quiz, quiz, change where the students are each given a statement with a question and answer on. They move around the room asking their question to their classmates. If answered correctly students swap statements if not the correct answer is read out before moving on.
