2 total works
This text seeks to integrate the concepts and issues developed in the other titles in the "Hodder Geography" series, linking them to the study of two contrasting countries: Germany and South Africa. Together they provide a way to apply such topics as landforms, population, urban and rural areas, resources and economic activity. Using the case studies to explore a range of scales, with additional background to provide global context, the volume aims to complement and diversify the content of the other books, building upon the themes of development, sustainability and the environment issues. Emphasizing an approach to regional geography that looks at similarities as well as differences, it seeks to establish a sound understanding of place.
This geography series offers a fully integrated course for KS3, meeting the revised National Curriculum requirements. Each book tackles a key theme using a range of scales and locations, ensuring balanced coverage of the UK, Europe and World dimensions. The activities have been designed to enable pupils to demonstrate progress in their knowledge, understanding and skills, as well as achievement at different levels. They also provide opportunities for pupils to explore and develop their own values regarding people, places and the environment. Integration between the books provides a foundation in the key geographical skills and offers coverage of specific place requirements while the modular approach allows schools flexibility in constructing a KS3 course appropriate to their needs. This volume in the series looks at the causes and effects of tectonic activity and covers natural resources and energy as it explores the balance and imbalance of systems. It explores the relationship between people and their environment, particularly focusing on the issues of sustainability and environmental management.
