This field trip has the following curriculum links
Geography: Geographical Skills
Field data collection, evaluating field techniques.
Geography: Investigating
1. Observe and ask questions about a place, environment or a geographical issue, e.g. Why does it flood? How and why is our village changing?
2. Measure, collect and record data through carrying out practical investigations and fieldwork, and using secondary sources, e.g. use instruments to measure rainfall, use GIS, design questionnaires. KS2.
Geography: Locating Places, Environments and Patterns
1. Identify and locate places and environments using globes, atlases, and maps, e.g. use co-ordinates and
four-figure references.
2. Follow directions, estimate and calculate distances, e.g. follow map and ground routes, calculate map-to-ground
distances.
3. Use maps, imagery and ICT to find and present locational information, e.g. draw sketch maps using symbols and keys. Interpret maps, and photographs including oblique, aerial and satellite images. KS2.
Science: Enquiry
Pupils should be given opportunities to carry out different types of enquiry. The number of observations or measurements that need to be made and their range and values to ensure reliability of evidence. The equipment and techniques required for the enquiry Any potential hazards in their work. KS2 and KS3.
Science: Interdependence of Organisms
Through fieldwork, the plants and animals found in two contrasting local environments, e.g. identification, nutrition, life cycles, place in environment. KS2.
Science: Interdependence of Organisms
The interdependence of living organisms in those two environments and their representation as food chains. KS2.
Science: Interdependence of Organisms
The environmental factors that affect what grows and lives in those two environments. KS2.
Science: Interdependence of Organisms
How humans affect the local environment, e.g. litter, water pollution, noise pollution. KS2.
