1.   Title page  (do later)

 

2.   Contents   (do last!)

 

3.   Where is Dunwich? What is Dunwich Heath?

 

4.   Say what you are going to investigate at Dunwich.

  • This means writing out the key ideas.

     

  • This also means writing out your hypotheses or questions.

5.  Say what information (data) you are going to collect to help you investigate your questions at Dunwich.

 

_______________

Methods and techniques

 

Make a table of the techniques you have used to investigate the Threats to Dunwich Heath . e.g how you used a pantometer on the beach, or measured a footpath cross section. An ICT template is available. You may wish to show your methods graphically - drawings, photos, etc.

 

1.    Write out your beach/cliff hypotheses.

    Describe the site.

 

2.   Describe how you sketch/ surveyed the cliff and labeled features and processes. Explain what types of erosion are present and the evidence for their work .. and evidence that erosion is not taking place

 

3.   Draw up the cross-section of the beach.

 

4.   Describe the general shape of the cross-section here.  Analyse - Is the beach a product of the cliffs (evidence). or work by the sea, or both?

 

5.   Explain what longshore drift is, what was done with the coloured pebbles, and what happened to them (use diagrams & photos).

 

6.   Analyse what it tells you – which means describe the data and say if it supports your hypothesis or answers your questions - quoting your evidence.

 

 

1.    Write out your hypotheses.

    Describe the site.

 

2.   Complete a neat copy of your tourist survey map, complete with key and labels - and photos.

 

3.   Write an account of what the map shows. Identify the features you have marked on the map and describe them, and their importance for tourists.

 

4.  Plot our results for the  footpath erosion survey.

 

5.  Draw up and describe your footpath cross section. Explain what you can tell from the cross section.

 

6.   Analyse what it tells you – which means describe the data and say if it supports your hypothesis or answers your questions - quoting your evidence.

 

 

 

 

 1.   Write out your hypotheses.

    Describe the site.

 

2.   Complete a neat copy of your site survey table. An ICT template is available - this table can be filled in.

 

*    An additional form of presentation could use information boxes on a map, or air photograph, showing the sites visited. (This can be found on the server at school)

 

3.   Analyse what it tells you – which means describe the data and say if it supports your hypothesis or answers your questions - quoting your evidence.

Conclusions

This section should contain the things you have learned from the day.

1.   Write out your original questions or hypotheses.

2.   Write out if you can say if your hypotheses are correct or not. Answer you questions – quote evidence from your work on the day. An ICT template is available.

 

Evaluation

1.   How did your fieldwork go?  Write about the things that went well and those that went not so well - and try to give reasons.

2.   How could you, given time and resources, improve and extend your studies?
