Planning purposeful enquiry
This Geography scheme of work video equips teachers with strategies to help pupils select meaningful fieldwork inquiry questions. Whether investigating traffic patterns, local green spaces, or recycling processes, this flexible lesson empowers pupils to ask relevant questions, consider multiple perspectives and determine what evidence they need to collect.
The video walks through planning steps, from identifying potential challenges in the local context to using historical sources and mapping changes. It supports teachers to feel confident adapting the activity for group or class work.
