Week 36
EOY Examination
Week 35 (Research Project: The Future City)
Week 34 (Research Project: The Future City)
Week 33
Week 32
We analysed a country's economic growth and development to write a case study. The analysis was done based on Rostow's model of development.
Week 31
We analysed and compared different aspects of developed and developing countries based on Rostow's model of development through a "card sort out activity"
Week 30
We explored a new topic, on urbanisation by analysing the definition of terms related to urbanisation, factors and impacts of urbanisation as well as issues and challenges of urban growth through pictorial analysis.
Week 29
We explored the entire topic to identify creation and destruction. Students pointed out that through destruction, there is creation (for example the material eroded is deposited elsewhere). The students understood the circular nature of the world.
Week 28
We analysed if mountains are growing or shrinking.
Week 27
We explained how mountains are formed
Week 26
Students described glacial features, and how they are utilised by human activities
Week 25
Students identified glaciers and the processes involved in their formation
Week 24
Students explained the causes of flooding and wrote a case study analysis on flooding.
Week 23
Students presented on their chosen river feature
Week 22
Students explained why a river changes as it moves downstream and began preparing a presentation on the features of a river
Week 21
Students explored the processes in a river, the features of a drainage basin, and how a river changes as it moves downstream
Week 20
Students evaluated each others activities on coastal features, identified the features in pictures, and completed an assessment
Week 19
Students investigated why sea levels are rising and the effects of this
Week 17 and 18
Students chose 4 different ways of showing their understanding of coastal features. Including creating quizzes, story boards and diagrams.
Week 16
Students explained processes at the coast
Week 15
Students began their new topic, "Balance: Creation and Destruction". They discussed what these words mean, and explored several photos representing them
Week 13
Students completed their board games and tested them
Week 12
Students began to create board game that demonstrated the issues around migration
Week 11
Students created proportional arrow maps of global migration
Week 10
Students researched their own case study of a migration
Week 8/9
Students identified push and pull factors and obstacles with regard to migration
Week 7
Students received feedback on their assessment, and began to understand the reasons people migrate
Week 6
We investigated why there is so much plastic in the ocean and what can be done about it. Students also sat their mid-term assessment.
Week 5
We explained how ocean currents form and why there is a large amount of plastic in the middle of each ocean
Week 3 and 4
We explained how energy is redistributed around the world via atmospheric circulation and ocean currents
Week 2
We explained why it is hotter at the equator
