Exploring Geography in a Changing World PB1 Summary

Exploring Geography in a Changing World PB1 by Simon Ross

Exploring Geography in a Changing World is a new Key Stage 3 series designed to present real-life geography to motivate and stimulate pupils. With challenging content, engaging practical activities and an emphasis on 'thinking skills' pupils can achieve a solid foundation of knowledge and skills for progression to GCSE.

Book 1 explores a range of place-based content from the UK including the Boscastle flood, quarrying in the Peak District and the development of the 2012 Olympics site in London.

Opportunities for fieldwork are provided throughout the course, and pupils relate the content to the real world through the Issues activities at the end of each chapter.
