Search on the internet and see if you can find some historical maps of London from before the 17th Century (1600s). Find an interesting one and print it. On the back of the map write down 4 things of particular interest you have have discovered about each map.


 * Geography Lesson 12 October 2016**

Carry on watching the second episode of this documentary. During the lesson continue to make detailed notes. Ask Mr Jephcote to pause it and expand on any geographical issues. You need to be careful to focus on the geographical issues and less on the historical issues. Notice what the places were like and where the places were and how they were changing. Also look at where things happened in terms of the current/existing landscape. Mr Jephcote might be able to show you some of the places illustrated on Google Maps as the city is now.

Good luck. (My mother is getting very slowly better, but she's still unwell. I'm trying to get back to school for Monday.) Dr Lee


 * Geography Lesson and Prep Friday 7 October 2016**

Read through the pages below. Read them around the class from the screen.



Then watch: (Be aware that there are some noxious scenes. Be warned if you are squeamish)

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xydz4g_filthy-cities-medieval-london-1-3_shortfilms

Prep: From the film (only the part you have so far watched), make some notes about the geographical facts that the film portrays. Worry less about the history and focus on what it meant for the city, where places were, how the city was used, what the city was like, how the city was changing and how the ancient city has affected the city as it now is. You can look back over the film. Write this neatly in your book under the heading: Medieval London Notes from Filthy Cities by Dan Snow. If for some reason you don't have your books they should be in my classroom.

Take some notes from Peter Ackroyd's talk about his book. Write bullet points in your book and don't try to record everything, **just the important points**! Use the Heading: The Thames by Peter Ackroyd.

Collect some maps ready to cover your geogrpahy project. This years work includes work in the Historical Geography of London (old parts of London, old buildings, the Thames etc), Weather and Climate (winds, and rainfall and temperature, hot days, hurricanes, floods) and Population and Settlement (cities in higher and lower income countries, rural/country areas in the UK and abroad). **Collect** some photographs from magazines or from the internet (printed) and have them ready to cover your geography book. Today we began this term's work with boys who were at school and if you were at the Football match you will need to catch up on this from next lesson. Gather the maps and photographs ready for next week's prep to cover your geography book. You should also glue in your title page into the first page of your book when you receive it ready for next week's prep.

Do not copy the conclusion. Use it as a basis for your conclusion. It needs to be your own work not mine, otherwise you will lose marks for copying!



Average measures for the number of warm surfaces for the thermal camera measure.



**1Title Page** This needs to have your name clearly written.

**2Table of Contents** Nothing to do here, it just keeps you organised.

**3aIntroduction** This needs to explain why we chose to study the area we have, where it is and how the research might be useful. It needs to explain to someone who might not understand what we are doing, what we are doing.

**3bMap of Area** This needs to show where we conducted our research.

**4Key Questions** This question, written as a question, needs to sum up what exactly we were focusing on. It is only one question but it needs to be very precise.

**5Methodology: Thermal Map** This section needs to explain how we made the thermal map. What we did to check the thermometers, how we used them, how we planned where we would stand, how we synchronised time, how we recorded, what we expected to do with our data and what we did with the data. Why we collected this data. Draw a diagram.

**6Methodology: Thermal Photograph** This section needs to explain how we made the thermal image. Where we recorded. Why we recorded. What we did with the data (average). Why we collected this data. Draw a diagram.

**7Methodology: Two Point Temperature Measure** This needs to explain how we collected information for the two point temperature measure. You could explain the Uber exercise, and the recording procedure and why we did what we did. What did we do with the data (average). Draw a diagram.

**8Results**

**a) Thermal Map** Show the thermal map.

**b) Thermal Photograph** Show the thermal photograph, the temperature and the percentage score also the average percentage score.

**c) Graph Showing Two Point Temperatures** Show the two point temperatures and the averages.

**9Analysis** What did we find out overall. Refer to each of the three sections. Draw tables and graphs etc.

**10 Conclusion** What we learnt from the process. How is the information useful.

**11Limitations** What made our research weaker than it could have been. How could it have been better. What else could we have done?


 * Geography Prep Friday 20 May**

The photographs for you to do your thermal percentages are now available. Remember you need to find your photo, copy it, paste it into a new document and make it as large as it will print. Then divide it using a ruler into 100 equal squares (10x10), and work out the percentage that are more yellow/orange than purple. Put your percentage onto your image and print it out.


 * NB Many of you will have finished this now. Make sure you have clear and labelled lessons, coloured photographs and checked spelling and headings. Glue pages in neatly, tidy up your calculations. Make sure all three methodology sections are complete.**

Images are here: Note they are both classes together so you need to find yours. Unfortunately the numbers do not show, so I have provided contact sheets below to help you identify yours if you can't remember the building shape.

 * Geography Prep Friday 13 May**

Today we we worked on finishing off parts of our project. By this stage you should have complete:

Key Questions Introduction: Why we are doing this study, why are we doing it, where we are doing it, how is it important, what might we find out and what might be done with what we find out. Methodology: Thermal Map: How we took thermometers out in the square. How we measured. Where we stood. Why we stood where we did. Why we took so many measures. What we were expecting to do with the measures we took, how we were going to display the data. Draw diagram of the procedure. Methodology: Thermal Image: How we took thermal images. What we did, how we did it and why. What were we hoping to show. What would with do with the percentages we would get. Draw diagram of the procedure. Methodology: Two point temperature measure: Why we took two measures. How we took the temperatures. Why we were doing this. Draw diagram of the procedure.

ALL DRAWINGS IN PENCIL. LABEL IN INK. COLOUR IN COLOUR PENCIL!

Complete you work, tidy it up, complete what you have missing. I am still to give you the thermal image and the thermal map. We are not doing our analysis yet. Spend a good amount of time tidying everything and completing it!


 * Geography Prep Friday 29 April**

During the lesson today we completed the methodology for the thermal map (when we measured the temperatures and built a map), and the methodology for the use of the thermal camera. In your methodology you need to explain exactly what we did, how we did it and why we did in in that way. You do not have to tell what the results were but just what we did.

You need a lot of detail. You also need to draw a picture of the themal camera and the thermometer.

If you were at the match you have to do the whole thing. If you were in school you need to finish it off. Write it on page 6 and 7 in the pages you have been given. Make sure you do it in the right place.






 * Geography Prep Friday 22 April**

We will shortly be using the thermal camera to check heat release from buildings. This is an exercise which is a trial run of what you will do with the data (photograph) when we take them. Read the instructions on the sheet, draw a grid over the image, and count how many squares are 'warm' ie yellow. If its hard to tell whether a square is more purple or more yellow, you will have to make a judgement call on it. The number of yellower squares becomes a % measure of warm surfaces.




 * Geography Prep Friday 11 March 2016**

It has been difficult to make progress with our project as there have been so many 4th Form matches and it is therefore difficult to set prep! What I want you to do is to write a paragraph in your books that answers the following question. You can use the information that is in the videos from the prep from last week. This paragraph will go into your project, but for the time being write it as a draft in your exercise book.

In one paragraph explain: What the heat island effect is. What does it cause. Why it can be a problem. Why it might be useful to investigate in Cadogan Square.

Take 35 minutes on this. I expect a solid answer, well thought out. Well researched, clearly expressed. It should be about half a page. No more. You will score a __lower__ mark if you write more! I would prefer a better one paragraphy that three weak paragraphs. Work for quality.

 * Look at the following video that we looked at in class.**

In your books make careful and neat notes using the information that is in the video and what I explained to you in class. It would be better if you did this prep on Friday night so that the information from the lessons is fresh in your mind.

media type="youtube" key="v1KHNPIWXgw" width="420" height="315"

Make clear notes in your books with the heading: Five Factors affecting Climate.

Use a subheading for each section. Draw a neat diagram for each section.


 * Geography //Prep// Friday 5 February 2016**

Glue the Hydrological Cycle Sheet into your book. You were given it in class. Glue it in straight. There are 5 marks for prep for gluing the sheet in straight!

Look at the following video:

media type="youtube" key="NRSCfMqFZpA" width="560" height="315"

Using the sheet you were given and your knowledge of the water cycle, create a narrated script that explains the process as the video plays. The movie shows the process, your job is to write a script in your book that explains what is going on. (Unfortunately we did not finish going through the sheet in the 4B lesson, so you will need to use what knowledge you have of the water cycle.)

There is some more information here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/guides/z4bk7ty/revision

The video lasts for 1 minute 23 seconds.

Write your script so you know what needs to be said when. So:

0.00 0.10  0.20  0.30  0.40  0.50  1.00  1.10  1.20

Write the script in your book and some boys will read their scripts to the video in class as the video plays.


 * Extension** : If you want something extra to do, you could download the video, put it into iMovie and read the script into the video and resave. You could email me a small version and we could play some of them in class. Do this only if you feel confident with the technology and you want to do it! If you want to download the YouTube clip you can use the web application keepvid.com.

Make a page that goes through the key changes in London. I have half drawn the kind of thing you should build. It's a kind of visual review of the term's work. You need to fill it in. I have put some of the things we have studied on it and drawn some sketchy pictures. You need to fill the page with images, dates, maps etc doing more of what I have started. I hope this makes sense. There are two examples below. Don't copy mine, but you're welcome to use my ideas. (Drawn on iPad Pro!)

Here's my second attempt...




 * Geography Prep Friday 13 November 2015 (Bad luck)**

There was a problem with this page but it has now been fixed. (Thanks to George ; ))

We are getting to the end of the topic of the Historical Geography of London. We are now looking at 20th and 21st Century London. The good thing for us is that this period of time has lots more visual imagery than the earlier period. We will finish reading the booklet in class, but in the meantime, it would beo good if you looked at some of the visual imagery here which will help make sense of what we read in class.

For prep, look at the following videos and talk to your parents about their experience of London during their lives. They were probably a part of it in some way. You are part of it now!

1) Look at the videos below, with your parents or by yourself.

2) Talk to your parents about some fo the things that are shown and come to class with stories or interesting experiences they may have had.

 * Geography Prep 23 October 2015**


 * There is no geography prep this week owing to half term.**

Read the following carefully. I know some of the language is tricky and there is a lot to read, but you don't have to read it too carefully. What I want you to do is to draw a picture of London showing some of the things that are happening in this account. I have provided a picture below to give you the idea of what you might draw with the things from the account in the picture. You can use Google Earth if you want to find out where things are.
 * Geography Prep 16 October 2015**

Draw a picture something like this one, with the activities happening on the banks of the river or in the background of the picture.


 * Remember to label what it is you've drawn.**

 * Geography Prep Friday 9 October 2015**
 * 1) Watch the following (4 mins) and carefully look at the artefacts and read the slides.**


 * 2) Read the following (10 mins)**

Underneath the map write down 5 interesting things you can find about the map of Medieval London.
 * 3) Print out, trim and glue this map into your book. (5 mins) (8 mins)**

Watch the following video and make clear notes in your books. Only write things that are important for geography i.e. things to do with the nature and shape of the city and how it became as it did. Do not make notes on other things! You will finish for prep, and your mark will depend on how well you stuck to making notes on the geography (not those things that are just historical)!
 * Geography Cover Lesson Friday 2 October**

 * Geography Prep Friday 25 September (30 minutes)**

1) Glue today's sheet into your book. Yes I know it's double sided. Trim the edges CAREFULLY and glue it along the edge so it forms another page in your book. (3 minutes)

If you lost your sheet you can find it here.



2) Look at the following video about Londinium, the London Wall and the Fort. It goes for about 7 minutes. You can see the locations on the map I gave you today in class. (7 minutes)

media type="youtube" key="43Du_TdSd4s" width="560" height="315"

3) Make some brief notes from the video in your book. FOCUS on where things are, what they looked like and why they were there. Don't write everything! (10 minutes)

4) Look at the following map.



5) See if you can find where the London Wall is visible using the map and Google Streetview.

Here are some clues: Type London Wall into Google Maps and have a look around to see if you can find it. Perhaps you can take a screenshot of it using Street View, print it and put it into your book. (5 minutes)

Also click on this link and see if you can take a good 'photo' of it using Street View.

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Museum+of+London/@51.517562,-0.0948896,117m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m3!3m2!1s0x48761b5508c1cbeb:0x407de2c1952a25e4!4b1 (5 minutes)

Print trim and glue into your book giving each photo a caption saying what it is and where it is from.

Good luck.

Print the following sheet. Follow the instructions. Cut it and glue it neatly into your books. Your prep is due on Monday.




 * Prep Friday 11 September 2015**

Re read the sheet we looked at in class (SHEET 1) (Read it all - we didn't quite finish it in the lesson)



Then print out this map (SHEET 2)




 * Read the instructions carefully**:

Put the Heading: **Transposing Geological Map of London**

Using the 3D information in SHEET 1, try to show on SHEET 2 where the high ground and where the low ground is. Draw the high land on the map. Colour the map, cut it neatly and glue it into your book.


 * Then write a paragraph explaining what you did.**


 * Geography Prep 4 September 2015**

1) Cover your geography book according to the following:

a) Map layer. Cover your book with a map. You can use and old road map, or I gave some out in class. Or you can download some interesting maps. This is a background layer.

b) Cover your maps with some photos etc, but don't cover the map entirely! This year's work is on:

- Historical maps/pictures of central London - Heat in cities and weather and climate e.g. storms, winds, hail etc - Cities, population, towns

Google some images, cut them out, perhaps in circles and glue them on top of the maps.

c) Make sure your name is on the cover on the top right. Very clear, very bold. It should say.

As many of you are going away this weekend I want you whether you are in London or elsewhere to keep an eye on the weather. Notice the weather forecast, look at and even print out weather maps, listen to or watch the weather report. The excellent weather app I showed you in class is called Dark Sky. You might want to download it (with your parents' permission only as it costs £2.99 - you are not expected to do this, however! I have no association with the developer either).


 * Geography Prep Friday 24 April 2015**


 * Climate**

Make a list of 5 places you visit. They might be in the UK or abroad. You might also choose a strange or remote place to make it interesting. Choose places in both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.

Then search Google for the places in an IMAGE SEARCH, adding the title CLIMATE GRAPH. For example search London climate graph.

You will then find a graph like this:



Choose a graph that is set out in this way, with columns for rainfall and a curved line for temperature. Find one for each of your five locations. (Don't do London). Print them and TRIM them and glue them NEATLY in your books. Next to each one write one interesting point about each climate graph and note whether it is in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere.

 * (UPDATE SUNDAY: APOLOGIES BUT I SEEM TO HAVE SWAPPED THE 4H AND 4B PHOTOS. IF YOU WERE CLEVER YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED THIS! A COUPLE OF BOYS KINDLY DREW THIS TO MY ATTENTION AND I HAVE FIXED IT) **

Your prep is to find the % of yellow squares on the thermal photo you took today.
 * Geography Prep Friday 6 February 2015**

You should be able to find your photo here: https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A453qWtH4PxDd

You were asked to keep a note of the time and the approximate layout of the picture so you can find it again.

1) Copy your photo onto a Word or Pages file 2) Make the image bigger so it reasonably fits the page 3) Print it out 4) Over the picture draw a 1cm x1cm grid all over the picture so it is broken into 1cm squares 5) Count the number of yellow squares 6) Count the number of total squares 7) Find the % of yellow squares by dividing the number of yellow squares by the number of total squares 8) Convert this into a percentage

I did this for you in class to show you how easy it is. If there's a problem email me. Try to do it all by yourself!

If some squares are half yellow and half purple count them as yellow or purple if they are more than 50% yellow or purple. If some squares have a car then count the colour of the car etc as yellow or purple.

Good luck.

In class today we looked at the numbers you collected in Cadogan Square. I taught you how to draw a thermographic map, making sure that everywhere on the map is part of a temperature zone. There should be no part of the map that isn't in a colour zone. This can be a little tricky and you need to think carefully about it. You might need a few drafts before you get it right. Colour each zone and add a key which is carefully drawn.
 * Geography Prep Friday 30 January 2015**

You should also calculate the average temperature for the outside zone, inside zone, northern zone and southern zone.

You can find another copy of the map below, if you need to reprint.

Good luck. Don't rush!




 * Geography Prep Friday 23 January 2015**


 * Today we measured temperatures in the Square. For Prep, you should write a very detailed plan of exactly what we did and how we did it. Print your work out, but save it on your computer for later use. Put your name on your work.**

Include drawings/diagrams etc in what you have produced and explain in very great detail. Imagine that someone else could do the whole test again if they were given your instructions. You should include the map and the photographs below.

The heading for the page should be: **Methodology Stage 1**







The Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect is caused by the natural heating of buildings by the sun along with urban energy use such as heating etc. Human activity keeps urban areas warmer.
 * Geography Prep Friday 16 January 2015**

Look at this video:

media type="youtube" key="5HX2WRPmQdY" width="560" height="315"

Look carefully at the buildings in Cadogan Square here: (follow this rather long link)

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Cadogan+Square,+London/@51.4958491,-0.1602446,3a,75y,29.27h,89.34t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sfucXihgUiz8sh7un28lFxA!2e0!4m2!3m1!1s0x4876053e46306429:0x18ffeb340309ba25!6m1!1e1

What impact do you think the buildings have on absorbing heat? What impact do you think the buildings have on letting heat escape from within them?

Be ready to discuss the answer to these questions in class.

You may also see if you can find some pictures of London with multiple lightning strikes...


 * Geography Prep Friday 9** **January 2015**

Today we talked about the Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect and the research project we would do in Cadogan Square. We discussed how cities are warmer than open areas because of heating and also because the hard surfaces store and reradiate heat. We also looked at thermometers and how we might use them to create a thermal map of Cadogan Square.

Make a list of things in a city that you think might generate heat. Draw a picture of a cityscape showing where heat might come from and how it might be stored in the city. You can do a little internet research to see what you can find, but mainly I want you to spend the time drawing the annotated drawing. Colour your work and give it a heading: The Urban Heat Island.

 * Why are we doing this?** We are doing this because it relates to the exhibition I wanted to take you through but could not because of your match. Some of your parents might be taking you to see the exhibition. Later in the year we will be studying how people live and next year we will be looking at farming as an example of UK industry.

Read the following sheet.
 * Geography Prep Friday 14 November 2014**



Then look at this site and see what parts of London were looking like in the early part of the 20th Century. LOOK carefully at the dates of the photographs.

http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/asearch?search=london&order=2

Choose one you think is interesting and print it out with a short statement of what you think it tells you about how London had changed or was changing.

We started looking through the following document in class, but we didn't finish it. Finish reading the document below.
 * Geography Prep Friday 07 November 2014**



THEN... Use Google Maps and look at some of the places that are mentioned in the booklet and see if you can find images/maps/photos/drawings of the places that show them now and in the past, a little like the first set of maps/aerial photograph does. You might need to do some investigative work to see what's still there, what's changed, and what's gone. Perhaps look at Old and New St Paul's Maps and pictures, Covent Garden maps and pictures, See if you can find out where Pudding Lane is, can you find a map to print on a sheet to glue into your book? I provided images of Chelsea Hospital (historical), perhaps you can find an old 17th Century map online and a modern photograph, and I provided an image of Greenwich Hospital (modern) perhaps you can find old images or maps? This is an open ended exploration prep. See what you can come up with!

You have to produce a printed document with what you have found, well labelled. Remember your prep is not complete until its trimmed and glued into your book. Good luck.

NB: SV GM and EZ, for some reason I still have your books so you will need to glue the prep into your book on Monday.

Carefully read the following booklet.
 * Geography Prep Friday 31 October 2014**



Then read the following:

We are taking a little break from the history of London just to look at Longitude and navigation. I will be taking you to the National Maritime Museum later in the term and I would like you to prepare by watching this programme. It's a little longer than a standard prep, so there are no questions.

 * Geography Prep Friday 03 October 2014**

On the sheet you were given in class today underline the most important GEOGRAPHICAL facts. This sheet contains some historical information and some geographical information, you are to highlight the most important GEOGRAPHICAL information. The information that has to do with the nature of the city, the location of the city, the reasons why the city might have moved.

Also there is a map on the sheet on which you need to locate Ludenwic. Use the information in the sheet and Google Maps to draw an approximate boundary of where it was.

There is a link to a short film to watch too, you can see it here. It's not really about London, but it is about who's invading Britain, and it's all rather confusing. It makes me glad I'm a geographer and not an historian! But it's fun to watch.

 * Geography Prep Friday 26 September 2014**

Look at the following Medieval map of London.

http://www.101traveldestinations.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/art-map-london-49.jpg

Print the map out and then look at Google Maps using the following link.

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/City+of+London,+Greater+London/@51.5123443,-0.0909852,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x487603554edf855f:0xa1185c8d19184c0

Zoom in and out! CLUE: If you zoom in a lot it will give you the street names rather than the road numbers!

On the Medieval map mark as many modern street names and place names as you can that match up or seem to match up.


 * Extension**: If you like, see if you can find some pictures of places that are on the map and glue them into your books too, labelling them.


 * Glue the sheet into your book.**


 * Geography Prep Friday 19 September 2014**

Read the sheet that you were given in class and answer the two questions on it. Glue in the sheet and write the answers on the next page.

Finish reading the geography textbook photocopied booklet to the end. You can mark this booklet as it is a photocopy. Underline important parts of the booklet and revise it for the examination. Bring questions in about what you have read to the next lesson.


 * Revision (Revision Gazette now provided***)






 * The gazette below includes the sheets we did in the Michaelmas Term. You have had them all before, but together this makes up the term's textbook. I have also made these available in school as a paper digest.**



Geography Prep Friday 16 May 2014
 * Today we looked at the concept of population density. We looked at some cities and rural areas on Google Earth. For prep, using either Google Earth (better) or Google Maps (also works), find examples of the following, and take a screen shot of the place you have found, and give its location.**


 * 1) A big city showing high density accommodation (high rise flats)**
 * 2) A town with lots of green space and rural (farming) area around it**
 * 3) A small village in a developing country**
 * 4) A coastal city settlement (in either a developed or developing country)**
 * 5) A coastal rural settlement (in either a developed or developing country)**


 * For each one try to find the name of the place and its country and write a short description about how high you thick the population density is (you don't have to give a number) just estimate if it is very crowded or very thinly populated.**


 * For example:**
 * Shanghai, China. Central area, showing some housing and the river. Housing is bunched up together and is Medium Density.**


 * Paste your five images onto a sheet and label them as above and print them out ready to be glued into your book. Make sure you name is typed on the sheets.**

 * Complete Second Version of Analysis and Conclusion of Project as discussed in class.**

Geography Prep Friday 7 March 2014


 * You have now conducted all the research for your project and you need to write an analysis and conclusion.**


 * You need to write a page explaining what you found out in each of the three parts of the research.**


 * Explain what you found out with the thermal map.**


 * What you found out with the thermal camera. (The measure you took)**


 * What we found out with the measurement of temperature in both locations.**


 * You need to then say what you think we have learnt about the Heat Island Effect in Cadogan Square Gardens.**


 * Answer on a page which will go into your project. Make sure your name is on it.**

Geography Prep Friday 28 February 2014


 * Today we did the final part of our research for our project.**


 * We collected**


 * 4S Data: Cadogan Sq 16.7°C 16.3°C 14.2°C 15.5°C 17.2°C**
 * Hyde Park 8.5°C 8.3°C 8.1°C 8.6°C 8.5°C**


 * 4H Data: Cadogan Sq 17.9°C 18.5°C 16.3°C 16.9°C 19.7°C**
 * Hyde Park 15.4°C 16.3°C 17.1°C 16.7°C 16.3°C**


 * Hyde Park Location (Geotag)**




 * To use the data put the numbers in the right order and cross out the highest and the lowest. Take the three middle measures and average these.**


 * On a sheet of paper put the heading Data Analysis Two Location Comparison. Make a graph that shows the data in the two locations. You need to graph the __averages__. If you think the other information is useful, you can use this too, it is up to you. Show your results and analyse your results, write down what you think you have learnt from this part of the research.**


 * You can use the photographs from today (see below) on your sheet if you like.**


 * Put your name on the page. Print it out and bring it to school. It will be part of your project.**


 * Well done today. I think it worked reasonably well, even though we did not get the iPads to work in Cadogan Square Gardens, we did use them successfully in the classrooms.**







Geography Prep Friday 7 February 2014


 * Here are the thermal images we created today.**


 * https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A4J0DiRHJfJEH2**


 * As we discussed, you will need to find the thermal image you took. They are time stamped so you can see the order they were taken in.**


 * For prep, copy your image onto a word processing file and enlarge it. Print it out. Then carefully draw a 1cm square grid over the image and count how many squares are mostly purple and how many are mostly yellow. Then calculate as a percentage the number of yellow squares as a percentage of the total number of squares. For example if you have 100 squares (10cm x 10cm) and you have 35 yellow and 65 purple squares, your percentage would be 35% because the yellow are 35 out of a total of 100 squares.**


 * //You will have to decide whether a square is mostly purple (cold) or mostly warm (yellow).//**


 * Here is the map we used.**




 * Good luck. If you're having difficulty, email me. Dr Lee**


 * Message to parents **


 * Dear Parent **


 * The Geography programme involves the creation of enquiries (projects) which involve fieldwork/research. The ISEB expressly requires this for Common Entrance and in the years preceding Common Entrance. Part of the Common Entrance examination includes a large project that is 20% of the Common Entrance mark and which is marked by your son's chosen public school. The projects we do now prepare boys for this project as well as being important in their own right. **


 * In order to construct these projects we need to make use of technology for word processing, number calculation/graphing and mapping. Many boys have access to their own such devices and have already been bringing them into school, and others have asked their parents if they may bring such a device into school to be used during their geography lessons. **


 * If a boy does not have access to such technology there is a small number of machines available in school for boys to use. Boys have been advised that if parents need verification of this they may draw their parents' attention to this note. **


 * If there are any queries please email me at al@sussexhouseschool.co.uk. **


 * Boys have very clearly been told to not go home demanding the purchase of IT equipment! **


 * Kind regards **

Geography Prep for 31 January 2014


 * You have now written your methodology for the thermal map. You will need to write a methodology for the other two parts of our research project later once we have done them.**


 * Remember that there are three parts of our research:**


 * 1) Thermal Map**
 * 2) Temperature Difference between Cadogan Square and Hyde Park**
 * 3) Thermal Photographs of Buildings**


 * You now need to write up the results for 1) Thermal Map.**


 * First you need to put the temperatures for your class on the map. The map is here and the data (temperatures) are on the second page:**




 * Calculate the average for the middle temperatures and the outer temperatures and write them neatly on the map too.**


 * Can you group the temperatures in any way or shade them using colours. You can decide how best to show the information. We will look at it in class. It's possible that you might have to do it again, if the way you present your work is not clear enough. This is how it goes sometimes, research doesn't always get it right the first time. Get used to making mistakes!!**


 * If you have a problem, email me on al@sussexhouseschool.co.uk.**


 * Good luck.**


 * Dr Lee**

Geography Prep for 24 January 2014


 * Sorry boys the prep I set has been difficult to do because of the technology, so I have made some changes to make it simpler.**


 * Follow the instructions, print your work out and bring it to school next week.**


 * Sorry to have changed the instructions, but it became rather awkward. We will sort it out next week.**


 * Put the heading: Methodology**


 * Put the subheading: Thermal Map**


 * Explain here carefully how we measured what we did. Make sure you explain about the plastic bag, the direction you faced, the sheet we recorded on, the times we measured, where we measured, what you recorded, why we rounded up, how we tested the thermometers the week before (and why we then used a plastic bag), how we organized the measuring activity, who went where, what kind of equipment we took, synchronizing the watches etc.**


 * You need to write this in as organized a way as you can. I have just made a random list, but you need to explain what we did and why we did it that way.**


 * GOOD LUCK**


 * Dr Lee**

Geography Prep Friday 6 September 2013


 * Please cover your geography books. You need to cover the book with a map, such as a double page map from an old road map book. If you don't have a map, then you can download and print some and make a patchwork of maps, or see if, on the weekend you can get a large map from a tourist facility, it could be a bus map for example.**


 * Secondly add the name sticker I gave you.**


 * Then cover the book with plastic.**


 * This way all books should have some consistency.**


 * Good luck. If you're really stuck for a map, then I should have some next week, and you can cover your book then.**


 * Have a good weekend. Dr Lee : )**

Write down and number the observations and limitations of the thermometer we encountered today in class.

3. Should we try to reduce the impact of the cold wind on the temperature taken?

4. If we were to do this show how we might do it, using a **__diagram__**.

FIRSTLY, Glue into your books any sheets that were returned to you today. Glue them in sensibly and trim them where necessary.
 * Prep for Friday 18 January: Microclimates and Heat Island Effect**

SECONDLY, Today we talked about our microclimate study. For prep I want you to go around your house and find out which rooms hold their heat energy the most and which ones lose it the most. If you have a very well insulated, well heat controlled house, then you will need to look at the rooms which will be hardest to keep warm, eg rooms with large glass windows that need heating and double glazing to stay warm.

In your prep you should choose two rooms in your house. One that would naturally stay warm and keep its heat the easiest, and one that either loses a lot of heat or might need a lot of energy to keep warm. Glue a picture of both rooms into your books or draw a picture of them with arrows on the drawings/photographs showing where the heat might be escaping, or might naturally escape if it were allowed to.

Read through the article below pages 15-17 on Managed Coastal Retreat at Wallarsea. Read it carefully, as there will be a 10 question quick quiz on this (just to see you've read it!). __I want you to have a thorough understanding of this article.__

During the lesson we looked at the account of William FitzStephen. For Prep I want you to read/reread the whole booklet and draw an accumulative picture showing aspects of the London experience in 1173. **Draw the picture in your book and spend 30 minutes doing a good job.** For example if the booklet says there were green fields, draw a small green field. If it says there are many churches, draw a small church. If it says that there are many bishops, draw a bishop. In the end you should end up with a big 'grown' picture that shows what FitzStephen saw in London. This prep will help you picture in your mind what FitzStephen's vision was like. Colour your picture and try and make the picture attractive to look at. Good luck.

Print the following sheet. Follow the instructions. Cut it and glue it neatly into your books. Your prep is due on Monday.




 * Prep Friday 11 September 2015**

1) Cover your geography book according to the following:

a) Map layer. Cover your book with a map. You can use and old road map, or I gave some out in class. Or you can download some interesting maps. This is a background layer.

b) Cover your maps with some photos etc, but don't cover the map entirely! This year's work is on:

- Historical maps/pictures of central London - Heat in cities and weather and climate e.g. storms, winds, hail etc - Cities, population, towns

Google some images, cut them out, perhaps in circles and glue them on top of the maps.

c) Make sure your name is on the cover on the top right. Very clear, very bold. It should say.

Billy Bloggs 4X Geography Dr Lee

d) The sticky back plastic layer.

Then your written prep is:

Re read the sheet we looked at in class (SHEET 1)



Then print out this map (SHEET 2)



Read carefully: Using the 3D information in SHEET 1, try to show on SHEET 2 where the high ground and where the low ground is. Show this on the sheet. Colour the map, cut it neatly and glue it into your book.

Put the Heading: Transposing Geological Map of London.

Then write a paragraph explaining what you did.

As many of you are going away this weekend I want you whether you are in London or elsewhere to keep an eye on the weather. Notice the weather forecast, look at and even print out weather maps, listen to or watch the weather report. The excellent weather app I showed you in class is called Dark Sky. You might want to download it (with your parents' permission only as it costs £2.99 - you are not expected to do this, however! I have no association with the developer either).


 * Geography Prep Friday 24 April 2015**


 * Climate**

Make a list of 5 places you visit. They might be in the UK or abroad. You might also choose a strange or remote place to make it interesting. Choose places in both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.

Then search Google for the places in an IMAGE SEARCH, adding the title CLIMATE GRAPH. For example search London climate graph.

You will then find a graph like this:



Choose a graph that is set out in this way, with columns for rainfall and a curved line for temperature. Find one for each of your five locations. (Don't do London). Print them and TRIM them and glue them NEATLY in your books. Next to each one write one interesting point about each climate graph and note whether it is in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere.


 * REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR TEXTBOOK TO CLASS NEXT LESSON. MANY BOYS ARE LEAVING THEM AT HOME!**

Also carefully review this page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/geography/weather_climate/climate_rev3.shtml

And these:

a) INCOMING SHORTWAVE RADIATION. (2:25) 4* Short US based video explaining what happens to the sun's energy as it enters the earth's atmosphere. It does not discuss the reradiating of the sun's energy, however. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4M2rT1NXkw

b) BRIAN COX CALCULATES THE HEAT ENERGY THAT HITS THE EARTH'S SURFACE (2:52) 4* Interesting mathematical adventure. He says it's why he like physics. This is why I love geography! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c17t_Pf8vI4

c) US VIDEO ON RERADIATION (3:35) 4* Diagram based, carefully worded and articulated explanation of process of radiation and reradiating and equilibrium. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOAqECd70Ww


 * Geography Prep 27 February 2015**

Look at the rainfall diagrams on page 39. Copy them carefully on a sheet of paper as if you were drawing them in an exam. That is to say practice drawing them quickly and neatly. Use coloured pencils.

Your prep is to find the % of yellow squares on the thermal photo you took today.
 * Geography Prep Friday 6 February 2015**


 * (UPDATE SUNDAY: APOLOGIES BUT I SEEM TO HAVE SWAPPED THE 4H AND 4B PHOTOS. IF YOU WERE CLEVER YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED THIS! A COUPLE OF BOYS KINDLY DREW THIS TO MY ATTENTION AND I HAVE FIXED IT) **

You should be able to find your photo here: https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A4GgZLKuGQ09hN

You were asked to keep a note of the time and the approximate layout of the picture so you can find it again.

1) Copy your photo onto a Word or Pages file 2) Make the image bigger so it reasonably fits the page 3) Print it out 4) Over the picture draw a 1cm x1cm grid all over the picture so it is broken into 1cm squares 5) Count the number of yellow squares 6) Count the number of total squares 7) Find the % of yellow squares by dividing the number of yellow squares by the number of total squares 8) Convert this into a percentage

I did this for you in class to show you how easy it is. If there's a problem email me. Try to do it all by yourself!

If some squares are half yellow and half purple count them as yellow or purple if they are more than 50% yellow or purple. If some squares have a car then count the colour of the car etc as yellow or purple.

Good luck.

In class today we looked at the numbers you collected in Cadogan Square. I taught you how to draw a thermographic map, making sure that everywhere on the map is part of a temperature zone. There should be no part of the map that isn't in a colour zone. This can be a little tricky and you need to think carefully about it. You might need a few drafts before you get it right. Colour each zone and add a key which is carefully drawn.
 * Geography Prep Friday 30 January 2015**

You should also calculate the average temperature for the outside zone, inside zone, northern zone and southern zone.

You can find another copy of the map below, if you need to reprint.

Good luck. Don't rush!




 * Geography Prep Friday 23 January 2015**


 * Today we measured temperatures in the Square. For Prep, you should write a very detailed plan of exactly what we did and how we did it. Print your work out, but save it on your computer for later use. Put your name on your work.**

Include drawings/diagrams etc in what you have produced and explain in very great detail. Imagine that someone else could do the whole test again if they were given your instructions. You should include the map and the photographs below.

The heading for the page should be: **Methodology Stage 1**







The Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect is caused by the natural heating of buildings by the sun along with urban energy use such as heating etc. Human activity keeps urban areas warmer.
 * Geography Prep Friday 16 January 2015**

Look at this video:

media type="youtube" key="5HX2WRPmQdY" width="560" height="315"

Look carefully at the buildings in Cadogan Square here: (follow this rather long link)

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Cadogan+Square,+London/@51.4958491,-0.1602446,3a,75y,29.27h,89.34t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sfucXihgUiz8sh7un28lFxA!2e0!4m2!3m1!1s0x4876053e46306429:0x18ffeb340309ba25!6m1!1e1

What impact do you think the buildings have on absorbing heat? What impact do you think the buildings have on letting heat escape from within them?

Be ready to discuss the answer to these questions in class.

You may also see if you can find some pictures of London with multiple lightning strikes...


 * Geography Prep Friday 9** **January 2015**

Today we talked about the Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect and the research project we would do in Cadogan Square. We discussed how cities are warmer than open areas because of heating and also because the hard surfaces store and reradiate heat. We also looked at thermometers and how we might use them to create a thermal map of Cadogan Square.

Make a list of things in a city that you think might generate heat. Draw a picture of a cityscape showing where heat might come from and how it might be stored in the city. You can do a little internet research to see what you can find, but mainly I want you to spend the time drawing the annotated drawing. Colour your work and give it a heading: The Urban Heat Island.


 * UPDATED AS THERE WAS A URL MISSING**

Look at the following website and build a spider diagram or mind map of the factors relating to farming in Cumbria.
 * Geography Prep Friday 21 November 2014**

http://landkeepers.co.uk/#

You will want to make sure you cover the following areas (though you can cover much more) What farming involves How farmers live How settlements and markets are connected The impact of the environment on farming The impact of farming on the environment

How to make a mind map: media type="youtube" key="wLWV0XN7K1g" width="420" height="315"


 * Why are we doing this?** We are doing this because it relates to the exhibition I wanted to take you through but could not because of your match. Some of your parents might be taking you to see the exhibition. Later in the year we will be studying how people live and next year we will be looking at farming as an example of UK industry.

Read the following sheet.
 * Geography Prep Friday 14 November 2014**



Then look at this site and see what parts of London were looking like in the early part of the 20th Century. LOOK carefully at the dates of the photographs.

http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/asearch?search=london&order=2

Choose one you think is interesting and print it out with a short statement of what you think it tells you about how London had changed or was changing.

We started looking through the following document in class, but we didn't finish it. Finish reading the document below.
 * Geography Prep Friday 07 November 2014**



THEN... Use Google Maps and look at some of the places that are mentioned in the booklet and see if you can find images/maps/photos/drawings of the places that show them now and in the past, a little like the first set of maps/aerial photograph does. You might need to do some investigative work to see what's still there, what's changed, and what's gone. Perhaps look at Old and New St Paul's Maps and pictures, Covent Garden maps and pictures, See if you can find out where Pudding Lane is, can you find a map to print on a sheet to glue into your book? I provided images of Chelsea Hospital (historical), perhaps you can find an old 17th Century map online and a modern photograph, and I provided an image of Greenwich Hospital (modern) perhaps you can find old images or maps? This is an open ended exploration prep. See what you can come up with!

You have to produce a printed document with what you have found, well labelled. Remember your prep is not complete until its trimmed and glued into your book. Good luck.

Carefully read the following booklet.
 * Geography Prep Friday 31 October 2014**



Then read the following:

We are taking a little break from the history of London just to look at Longitude and navigation. I will be taking you to the National Maritime Museum later in the term and I would like you to prepare by watching this programme. It's a little longer than a standard prep, so there are no questions.

media type="youtube" key="NENPdT4LASw" width="420" height="315"


 * Geography Prep Friday 03 October 2014**

On the sheet you were given in class today underline the most important GEOGRAPHICAL facts. This sheet contains some historical information and some geographical information, you are to highlight the most important GEOGRAPHICAL information. The information that has to do with the nature of the city, the location of the city, the reasons why the city might have moved.

Also there is a map on the sheet on which you need to locate Ludenwic. Use the information in the sheet and Google Maps to draw an approximate boundary of where it was.

There is a link to a short film to watch too, you can see it here. It's not really about London, but it is about who's invading Britain, and it's all rather confusing. It makes me glad I'm a geographer and not an historian! But it's fun to watch.

 * Geography Prep Friday 26 September 2014 **

Look at the following Medieval map of London.

[]

Print the map out and then look at Google Maps using the following link.

Zoom in and out! CLUE: If you zoom in a lot it will give you the street names rather than the road numbers!

On the Medieval map mark as many modern street names and place names as you can that match up or seem to match up.


 * Extension ** : If you like, see if you can find some pictures of places that are on the map and glue them into your books too, labelling them.


 * Glue the sheet into your book.**

 * Revision (Revision Gazette now provided***)






 * The gazette below includes the sheets we did in the Michaelmas Term. You have had them all before, but together this makes up the term's textbook. I have also made these available in school as a paper digest.**



Geography Prep Friday 16 May 2014
 * Today we looked at the concept of population density. We looked at some cities and rural areas on Google Earth. For prep, using either Google Earth (better) or Google Maps (also works), find examples of the following, and take a screen shot of the place you have found, and give its location.**


 * 1) A big city showing high density accommodation (high rise flats)**
 * 2) A town with lots of green space and rural (farming) area around it**
 * 3) A small village in a developing country**
 * 4) A coastal city settlement (in either a developed or developing country)**
 * 5) A coastal rural settlement (in either a developed or developing country)**


 * For each one try to find the name of the place and its country and write a short description about how high you thick the population density is (you don't have to give a number) just estimate if it is very crowded or very thinly populated.**


 * For example:**
 * Shanghai, China. Central area, showing some housing and the river. Housing is bunched up together and is Medium Density.**


 * Paste your five images onto a sheet and label them as above and print them out ready to be glued into your book. Make sure you name is typed on the sheets.**

 * Complete Second Version of Analysis and Conclusion of Project as discussed in class.**

Geography Prep Friday 7 March 2014


 * You have now conducted all the research for your project and you need to write an analysis and conclusion.**


 * You need to write a page explaining what you found out in each of the three parts of the research.**


 * Explain what you found out with the thermal map.**


 * What you found out with the thermal camera. (The measure you took)**


 * What we found out with the measurement of temperature in both locations.**


 * You need to then say what you think we have learnt about the Heat Island Effect in Cadogan Square Gardens.**


 * Answer on a page which will go into your project. Make sure your name is on it.**

Geography Prep Friday 28 February 2014


 * Today we did the final part of our research for our project.**


 * We collected**


 * 4S Data: Cadogan Sq 16.7°C 16.3°C 14.2°C 15.5°C 17.2°C**
 * Hyde Park 8.5°C 8.3°C 8.1°C 8.6°C 8.5°C**


 * 4H Data: Cadogan Sq 17.9°C 18.5°C 16.3°C 16.9°C 19.7°C**
 * Hyde Park 15.4°C 16.3°C 17.1°C 16.7°C 16.3°C**


 * Hyde Park Location (Geotag)**




 * To use the data put the numbers in the right order and cross out the highest and the lowest. Take the three middle measures and average these.**


 * On a sheet of paper put the heading Data Analysis Two Location Comparison. Make a graph that shows the data in the two locations. You need to graph the __averages__. If you think the other information is useful, you can use this too, it is up to you. Show your results and analyse your results, write down what you think you have learnt from this part of the research.**


 * You can use the photographs from today (see below) on your sheet if you like.**


 * Put your name on the page. Print it out and bring it to school. It will be part of your project.**


 * Well done today. I think it worked reasonably well, even though we did not get the iPads to work in Cadogan Square Gardens, we did use them successfully in the classrooms.**







Geography Prep Friday 7 February 2014


 * Here are the thermal images we created today.**


 * https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A45ON9t3FvQWX**


 * As we discussed, you will need to find the thermal image you took. They are time stamped so you can see the order they were taken in.**


 * For prep, copy your image onto a word processing file and enlarge it. Print it out. Then carefully draw a 1cm square grid over the image and count how many squares are mostly purple and how many are mostly yellow. Then calculate as a percentage the number of yellow squares as a percentage of the total number of squares. For example if you have 100 squares (10cm x 10cm) and you have 35 yellow and 65 purple squares, your percentage would be 35% because the yellow are 35 out of a total of 100 squares.**


 * //You will have to decide whether a square is mostly purple (cold) or mostly warm (yellow).//**


 * Here is the map we used.**




 * Good luck. If you're having difficulty, email me. Dr Lee**


 * Message to parents **


 * Dear Parent **


 * The Geography programme involves the creation of enquiries (projects) which involve research. The ISEB expressly requires this for Common Entrance and in the years preceding Common Entrance. Part of the Common Entrance examination includes a large project that is 20% of the Common Entrance mark and which is marked by your son's chosen public school. The projects we do now prepare boys for this project as well as being important in their own right. **


 * In order to construct these projects we need to make use of technology for word processing, number calculation/graphing and mapping. Many boys have access to their own such devices and have already been bringing them into school, and others have asked their parents if they may bring such a device into school to be used during their geography lessons. **


 * If a boy does not have access to such technology there is a small number of machines available in school for boys to use. Boys have been advised that if parents need verification of this they may draw their parents' attention to this note. **


 * If there are any queries please email me at al@sussexhouseschool.co.uk. **


 * Boys have very clearly been told to not go home demanding the purchase of IT equipment! **


 * Kind regards **


 * Dr Lee **

Geography Prep for 31 January 2014


 * You have now written your methodology for the thermal map. You will need to write a methodology for the other two parts of our research project later once we have done them.**


 * Remember that there are three parts of our research:**


 * 1) Thermal Map**
 * 2) Temperature Difference between Cadogan Square and Hyde Park**
 * 3) Thermal Photographs of Buildings**


 * You now need to write up the results for 1) Thermal Map.**


 * First you need to put the temperatures for your class on the map. The map is here and the data (temperatures) are on the second page:**




 * Calculate the average for the middle temperatures and the outer temperatures and write them neatly on the map too.**


 * Can you group the temperatures in any way or shade them using colours. You can decide how best to show the information. We will look at it in class. It's possible that you might have to do it again, if the way you present your work is not clear enough. This is how it goes sometimes, research doesn't always get it right the first time. Get used to making mistakes!!**


 * If you have a problem, email me on al@sussexhouseschool.co.uk.**


 * Good luck.**


 * Dr Lee**

Geography Prep for 24 January 2014


 * Sorry boys the prep I set has been difficult to do because of the technology, so I have made some changes to make it simpler. **


 * Follow the instructions, print your work out and bring it to school next week. **


 * Sorry to have changed the instructions, but it became rather awkward. We will sort it out next week. **


 * Put the heading: Methodology **


 * Put the subheading: Thermal Map **


 * Explain here carefully how we measured what we did. Make sure you explain about the plastic bag, the direction you faced, the sheet we recorded on, the times we measured, where we measured, what you recorded, why we rounded up, how we tested the thermometers the week before (and why we then used a plastic bag), how we organized the measuring activity, who went where, what kind of equipment we took, synchronizing the watches etc. **


 * You need to write this in as organized a way as you can. I have just made a random list, but you need to explain what we did and why we did it that way. **


 * GOOD LUCK **

 * Trim and glue it into your book.**

Geography Prep Friday 6 September 2013


 * Please cover your geography books. You need to cover the book with a map, such as a double page map from an old road map book. If you don't have a map, then you can download and print some and make a patchwork of maps, or see if, on the weekend you can get a large map from a tourist facility, it could be a bus map for example.**


 * Secondly add the name sticker I gave you.**


 * Then cover the book with plastic.**


 * This way all books should have some consistency.**


 * Good luck. If you're really stuck for a map, then I should have some next week, and you can cover your book then.**


 * Have a good weekend. Dr Lee : )**

R E V I S I O N : Geography Revision Sheets will be given out 10 days before exams. Boys should not be revising until this time as new work is still being done. Drawing revision out beyond this is likely to be counter productive and is not necessary if revision is conducted efficiently in the lead up to examinations.

 * Read the following sheet. Do not print it out as I will give you a copy in class.**
 * The prep you did on soil erosion was done well by some boys but less well by others. It is important that you understand what a case study is (it is just notes on a detailed example). I have produced one for your last prep. Read over it and look at the two videos on soil erosion below.**

 * In the last few lessons we have looked into the hydrological cycle in some detail. We went through the following principles/concepts/processes:**


 * Water cycle**
 * Precipitation**
 * Rain**
 * Hail**
 * Sleet**
 * Snow**
 * Infiltration**
 * Percolation**
 * Throughflow**
 * Groundwater**
 * Surface Runoff**
 * Splash Erosion**
 * Rills**
 * Gullying**
 * Storage**
 * Evaporation**
 * Transpiration**
 * Evapotranspiration**
 * Condensation**
 * Condensation nuclei**
 * Cooling air on elevation**
 * Air rising due to heat**
 * Air rising due to relief**
 * Air rising due to hitting cooler denser air**


 * Review these concepts/processes for a quick informal quiz next lesson.**
 * If there are any concepts you can't remember you can look them up, but they should still be fresh in your mind from our lesson today. It would be useful to try to explain these concepts to a parent or adult. This will help you to remember them.**

Geography Prep Friday 26 April


 * See what you can find out about soil erosion. See if you can find a case study, what has caused it and what problems it has caused. The case study can be in the UK or elsewhere. (See if you can find an example. Write it up in your book: a drawing, a map perhaps, and some writing.)**

Geography Prep Friday 19 April


 * Today we looked at the following infographic.**


 * For prep think of an interesting kind of statistic that might show a valuable insight into population. FInd the statistic through Google or through the CIA Factbook.**


 * Build a clear simple graph that shows an amazing fact or trend in population.**


 * You can use the topics in the infographic above to get some inspiration.**


 * You might choose something like:**


 * Graph showing populations of the 10 largest cities**
 * Graph showing growth rate of the 10 largest cities**
 * Pie Chart showing world population by % of world total**
 * Graph showing 10 richest countries and 10 poorest countries**
 * Graph showing the number of people born each hour in 1900 2000 and projected to 2100 (Might be difficult to get these statistics but you could try)**
 * Population and names of the 10 biggest Chinese cities**
 * Average income for the world's top 5 countries and the poorest 5 countries**
 * Average calorie intake for people in the wealthiest 5 countries and the poorest 5 countries (You can find some data here:**
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_food_energy_intake)**


 * Good luck. Email me if you're having a problem or FaceTime on draklee@mac.com.**

 * Prep for Friday 8 March 2013**

Write a GOOD answer to this question:

What did you find out about Microclimate, the Heat Island Effect and Cadogan Square using the research we conducted?

Find the photograph you took today in class from the link below. Print the page on an A4 sheet. Draw a one centimetre grid pattern all over the page. Work out what percentage of the front of the building is hot and what percentage is cold.
 * Geography Prep Friday 1 March 2013**

Follow the link below for the photographs.

Today we built a thermographic map of Cadogan Square. Draw a thermographic map of a part of your street and show why you think areas might be cooler and warmer. What things might affect the temperature. You could choose a park or square near you if you prefer. Draw your map in your books. If you do not have a book use a piece of paper.
 * Geography Prep Friday 22 February 2013 **


 * Prep for Friday 1 February 2013**

Design a house that would be incredibly heat efficient. Make a detailed drawing with arrows and explanations.


 * Prep for Friday 25 January**


 * Make sure you do all parts of this prep (1-4)**

1. Watch this video media type="youtube" key="CXqJwLR8Hjk" height="315" width="560"

2. In your books write the heading: Shortcomings and Observations regarding the Digital Thermometer. Write the date in your book too.

Write down and number the observations and limitations of the thermometer we encountered today in class.

3. Should we try to reduce the impact of the cold wind on the temperature taken?

4. If we were to do this show how we might do it, using a **__diagram__**.

FIRSTLY, Glue into your books any sheets that were returned to you today. Glue them in sensibly and trim them where necessary.
 * Prep for Friday 18 January: Microclimates and Heat Island Effect**

SECONDLY, Today we talked about our microclimate study. For prep I want you to go around your house and find out which rooms hold their heat energy the most and which ones lose it the most. If you have a very well insulated, well heat controlled house, then you will need to look at the rooms which will be hardest to keep warm, eg rooms with large glass windows that need heating and double glazing to stay warm.

In your prep you should choose two rooms in your house. One that would naturally stay warm and keep its heat the easiest, and one that either loses a lot of heat or might need a lot of energy to keep warm. Glue a picture of both rooms into your books or draw a picture of them with arrows on the drawings/photographs showing where the heat might be escaping, or might naturally escape if it were allowed to.

Read through the article below pages 15-17 on Managed Coastal Retreat at Wallarsea. Read it carefully, as there will be a 10 question quick quiz on this (just to see you've read it!). __I want you to have a thorough understanding of this article.__
 * Prep for Friday 11 January**

You will need to turn to the correct pages. **CLICK IN THE CORNER OF THE PAGE**. You will not be able to do this on a mobile device because the file requires Flash.

 * Apologies for the late arrival of prep. I'm afraid I was at Eton at a conference today and at St Paul's this afternoon to conduct mock Oxbridge interviews. I was planning to set prep this afternoon from St Paul's but unfortunately I could not get an internet connection. If you can get this prep done on the weekend, that would be grand. If you were planning to do it Friday night and you have no time on the weekend, please see me Monday morning. **

You should have watched a video today in class.

Here is a part of it.

media type="youtube" key="dH60asvTiA0" height="315" width="560"

Look at the following document and do the question. You will need to print out the sheet.



When you have finished, see the following slideshow narrated by a friend of mine!

 * Geography Prep set Friday 2 November **

During the lesson we looked at the account of William FitzStephen. For Prep I want you to read/reread the whole booklet and draw an accumulative picture showing aspects of the London experience in 1173. ** Draw the picture in your book and spend 30 minutes doing a good job. ** For example if the booklet says there were green fields, draw a small green field. If it says there are many churches, draw a small church. If it says that there are many bishops, draw a bishop. In the end you should end up with a big 'grown' picture that shows what FitzStephen saw in London. This prep will help you picture in your mind what FitzStephen's vision was like. Colour your picture and try and make the picture attractive to look at. Good luck.

Apologies for the late posting of this prep, there was a problem with the system that has now been rectified. It had been uploaded to 4H, but the 4S version seemed to not upload. It is now all fixed. Dr Lee

Read the following sheet. Study it and spend 30 minutes looking at it. There will be a 10 question quiz on it. To revise you could look at the Filthy City video, but you do need to score well in the test! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZgHXAek0No
 * Geography Prep set Friday 12 October due Monday 15 October**



You are expected to spend 30 minutes carefully revising this material.

Look at the following video. Note that the video says that Londinium was the capital of Roman Britain, but it was not - Colchester was, although Londinium //was// a very important city.

Look at the following website. Here you will find a series of interesting maps. Look carefully through the maps and make a list of 5 things you have found that are interesting. Don't just list what you have found, but write why it is interesting.

This requires Flash, so you will need to do this work on a computer and not a tablet device. You will need to click on the red map pins.

I am expecting around a page of writing.


 * Geography Prep set Friday 28 September due Monday 1 October **

As you were away this afternoon, please read over the sheet below. We might have a ten question quiz on its contents!

You don't need to print the sheet. I have one to give you next lesson.
