Develop a matrix of use/effectiveness, for example: Learning activities and School-assessed Coursework (SAC) Unit 3: Changing the land The significance of changes to land cover and use has grown in conjunction with the spread and growth of people across the world and the consequent demand for resources. On a global scale students investigate three major processes of land cover change, their nature and impact, and responses to these changes at local, national and global scales. At people’s the local scale, students focus on the more immediate land use changes of a selected location. The two types of land changes also operate in different time scales. Generally, land cover change takes place over significant lengths of time; in some cases it may not be recognised within a human lifespan. Land use change occurs over a relatively short period of time, within a few years, but easily within a human lifespan. When looking across both areas of study at the characteristics and interconnections of changing the land, students should focus on recognising and understanding the function and contribution of the processes bringing about the changes. They need to be similarly aware of and questioning the role of people in contributing to, mitigating, and responding to these changes.
