Week 6 – Case study 1 Specification content Subject specific skills development Learning outcomes Suggested learning activities (including ref to differentiation and extension activities) Resources Case study(ies) of glaciated environment(s) at a local scale to illustrate and analyse fundamental glacial processes, their landscape outcomes as set out above and engage with field data. Collect, analyse and interpret a range of qualitative and quantitative data from a range of primary and secondary sources. Present, analyse, draw conclusions and evaluate those findings using a range of geographical techniques (see skills checklist). Study a local glacial landscape in the UK, or one beyond the UK, through the use of secondary data sources – including online digital mapping, secondary data, local authority websites and text book resources – or engage first hand or complete fieldwork to collect primary data, or a combination of both. The aims of such work are to illustrate how the glacial landscape is distinctive and is the unique combination of the processes and environmental characteristics that created it at a local scale. If students complete a fieldwork investigation they will be able to follow through a complete geographical investigation and to enquiry. An opportunity to create a ‘virtual fieldwork investigation’ and provide students with a range of data relating to a local glaciated environment for students to investigate and address the themes of the enquiry. Or, an opportunity for students to conduct a short fieldwork enquiry of a local glaciated environment to investigate the main themes of the specification. Students could write up a mini-fieldwork enquiry to act as a case study of a local glaciated environment. (This could feed into the completion of coursework for the non-exam assessment element of the specification.) Many of the accompanying textbooks will have illustrative examples of possible glacial fieldwork opportunities.
