Fieldwork: Mapping Rocks in the School Grounds
This Geography scheme of work video supports teachers in delivering a practical fieldwork enquiry that gives pupils the opportunity to explore and identify different types of rocks around their school grounds. Designed to strengthen pupils’ map skills and their understanding of the geography-science connection.
Teachers are guided through the preparation and execution of the fieldwork, including the use of a pre-labelled school map to plot rock locations, using Xs to mark where rocks are found. The video demonstrates how to scaffold key skills such as map orientation, rock observation, and use of magnifying glasses and digital photography.
This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Geography Fieldwork teacher videos offering teachers everything they need to confidently deliver meaningful, enquiry-led outdoor learning.
