The cross section of a volcano with key parts labelled (e.g. vents, cone etc.)
Examples around the world of where this volcano is located.
Show land use on your mdel 9e.g. tourism, rock climbing, skiing, farming etc.)
You can either show all this information within the model OR produce a fact file to go with the model.
Create an Energy Saving Booklet - Homework
Aim:
To work out how much your household spends on energy and aim to produce a booklet to present to your parents on how they could save energy in order to reduce global warming and reduce their bills.
Objectives:
Design a questionnaire to ask your parents, in order to find out how much they spend on electricity and/ or gas. You should include questions in your questionnaire to find out what energy saving they are doing already.
Research ways of saving energy using as many different resources of information as possible (internet, books, leaflets etc.)
Write up your findings in the form of a booklet focusing on the areas where and how your parents could save energy.
Use pictures, diagrams and plans/ maps to illustrate your writing.
You are to create a report about the type of crimes and where they occur in your local area. In your report you must also describe ways of preventing and reducing in crime in your local areas.
Your report must include:
A map of your local area (use the internet, google earth, A-Z of Leeds, or maps from the geography department library). Your map can be hand drawn (a sketch) if you cannot find a map of your local area.
On your map, you must show the location of each type of crime tht could happen (or that has happened) in your area. Give reasons for the locations of each of the crimes on your map ( why have they happened in each location).
Describe ways that these crimes can be reduced or prevented.
Comparing the Impacts of Earthquakes in LEDC's & MEDC's - Assessed Project
Task: You will produce your own case study / fact file for at least 2 different Earthquakes using the handouts and textbooks provided in the lesson, and from your own research using the internet and from your homework.
Please choose at least one Earthquake from a wealthy country (More Economically Developed Country – MEDC) and at least one Earthquake which occurred in a poorer country. (Less Economically Developed Country)
Resources:
What are Earthquakes? Are they Identical? (Gujarat Earthquake January 2001) Fact file – Class Handout
Deathly Outcomes Worksheet - Class Handout
The Earthquake Hazard (Kobe January 1995 Earthquake Case study) - Class Handout
Internet research – Websites such as http://www.bbc.co.uk/news to research your own Earthquake case studies and to get appropriate photos, images and diagrams to put in your project.
Homework – To continue your project at home.
How to write up your project (Structure):
1. Produce a fact file for at least two Earthquakes in your own words, just like the one on your handout of the Gujarat Earthquake.
You should present your earthquake case studies under the following headings: a.) What happened and why? b.) The effects on buildings and infrastructure. (Were buildings damaged/ destroyed? What were they made of? Do the materials used alter the level of damage? Why?) c.) The effects on the countries economy (how much did it cost in damages etc.) d.) The effects on the people (How many died? How many were injured? Why do you think that was?) e.) The short and long term responses to the Earthquakes. (What happened straight after the Earthquake? Did other countries help? How did they help?)
2. Make a list of any key Geographical terms you have used in your project and write a brief description of what they mean. (Glossary)
3. Plot the location of your two case studies onto a blank world map.
4. Compare both of your Earthquake studies and describe which was the most devastating and explain why you think that is.
Note: By doing this, you can achieve a level 6, 7 or higher for your project.
Level Descriptions:
Level 4 You can describe how each Earthquake occurred and the effects they have on people, the economy and on the built environment.
Level 5 You can both describe and explain the effects of the Earthquakes on people, buildings and the economy and explain both the short term and long term responses to the Earthquakes.
Level6 & 7 (You can achieve the requirements for level 5) and you can also compare both your case studies, by explaining which Earthquake caused the most impacts, and justify with examples. why you think there may be different impacts which occur in a LEDC and a MEDC, when an Earthquake occurs. You use your own views and opinions to explain and justify your comparison.
