Geography QCA Unit 15: The mountain environment
      04/16/06 12:02 PM

View in Google Earth         View in Google Maps (1990 downloads)

I am doing this unit later in the summer term and have had a few ideas about it so I have put this small collection together.

Standards site QCA unit

These materials should support your teaching of this unit quite well - designed to be used as a whole class or individually in an ICT suite.

>Geosnapper - a network link that displays geotagged images of where you are in GE. **Remember to vett them before use.**
>Placeopedia - a network link that displays available Wikipedia articles for wherever you are.
>Wainwright's Lake District Peaks - a comprehensive guide to all of the peaks present in Alfred Wainwright's book.
>World's Highest Peaks - a collection of over 150 different high points in different countries across the world. Taken from Valery35's network link but altered so that each view of the peak is seen in perspective. Some of these high points are not much at all - the children could look to reorganise these into hills and mountains. The Encyclopędia Britannica requires a prominence of 610 m (2,000 ft) for it to be deemed a mountain.
>World Hills - a very large collection of hills across the world.
>World Borders - to distinguish the different countries - possible to use the BORDERS tool, but I prefer to teach with this as it has similar use of colour to many atlases.
>The Pennines / The Lake District placemarks.
>Planet Earth DV - Mountains - I am really pleased with this resource which takes advantage of the DV from the BBC Planet Earth TV series. A variety of placemarks with related video footage from mountain footage to mountainous fauna in the rhododendron - take a look . All video opens in Real player. (right click and choose view in Theatre mode for full screen)
