2 (Year 7) • describe the physical and human features of different localities at a local scale • recognise features of places beyond their own locality • express views about the environments of localities • identify some ways in people affect environments • describe how physical and human features give environments their character • select and use information from resources and their own observations • use information and own observations to ask and respond to questions about places and environments • use some geographical vocabulary 3 (Year 8) • compare the physical and features of different localities at a local scale and give reasons for the locations of some of these features • identify similarities and differences between places • make some accurate observations about localities • identify some actions people take to improve and sustain environments • make simple connections between processes and their impact on environments • ask and respond to a range of geographical questions about localities and offer reasons for their observations • use geographical skills and sources of evidence to form and judgements • use geographical vocabulary when communicating ideas information and findings 4 (Year 8) • describe physical and human features of different places • describe how features of places are influenced by physical and human processes • locate places that are studied • describe ways in which the lives of people are affected and changed by physical and human processes • describe simple geographical patterns • identify how people improve or damage environments • ask relevant questions and select sources of evidence when investigating places and environments • describe a range of views and suggest plausible conclusions showing awareness of bias • communicate ideas, information and findings effectively using a range of appropriate forms and vocabulary 5 (Year 9) • compare the distinctive physical and human characteristics of different places • draw on a range of locations, contexts and scales in explanations of the characteristics of places • explain how physical and human processes interact to create diversity and change in places • analyse geographical interconnections in a range of locations and contexts and at different scales • compare different approaches to managing environments • organise and sequence enquiries and investigations to provide answers to questions and issues they have raised • identify potential bias, appreciating that different values and attitudes, including their own, lead to different outcomes
