Excellent web site with animations

Progress


























As you can tell we move through work very quickly at Higher level. Having finished soils we are now moving through the Hydrosphere unit of work. Don't forget to ask if you are unsure or get stuck. Note taking is a real skill and one that improves with practice - mind maps or spider diagrams can often summarise things more quickly and obviously than a paragraph of writing. Consolidation and revision of ideas is something we do constantly in class but keep testing yourself too. Remember what I have said about knowing more at the end of a lesson than you did at the start !

Work hard, have fun and get your fieldwork write up completed soon !
