ICT Activity

What is Upper Teesdale like?
(pages 24-25)
This
is an Ordnance Survey map activity. The digital images
below are of Upper Teesdale. They allow the user to extend
the Activities on page 25 of the Basics pupils'
book. The images can be downloaded by clicking on the
thumbnails.
Image 1
The photograph was taken from 875280 on the Pennine Way
looking north-west. Find the following on the photograph
and on the OS map on page 24 of Basics, and label
them onto the photograph:
quarry, River Tees, Pennine Way, Cronkley Scar, protected
bank of meander.
Image 2
The photograph was taken from the Pennine Way looking
at Bleabeck Force. Look carefully at the OS map on page
24 of Basics and work out the grid reference
for where the photograph was taken from, and the direction
in which the camera was pointing.
Image 3
What causes waterfalls? (pages 28-29)
The digital image is a similar view of High Force to photo
C in Basics on page 29. The pupils could download
the image and paste it into a DTP program and then attempt
Activities 1 and 2 from the Basics pupils' book
page 29:
Activity 1: the High Force Fact File could be typed in
next to the image in a shaded box
Activity 2: pupils could add the labelling to the photo
using the software tools.

Notes
These online activities do not have to be used only
with less able pupils using the Basics pupils'
book. Indeed they could be developed into an activity
for GCSE as well as Key Stage 3 pupils.
Ways
to use the images in conjunction with the OS map
extract:
1.
The teacher downloads the images and prints copies
off for the pupils to use in the classroom with
the Basics pupils' book. They provide a good
opportunity to identify map features on the ground
and on the OS map.
2.
The teacher downloads the images and prints them
in colour onto overhead transparencies to use in
the classroom in conjunction with the Basics
pupils' book.
3.
The teacher downloads the images either onto a single
computer in the Geography classroom, or onto the
Geography page of the school intranet, for the pupils
to copy and paste into a DTP program and label key
features identified using the OS map extract in
the Basics pupils' book.
4.
The teacher downloads the images and copies them
into a DTP program to create a worksheet for use
with the class in conjunction with the OS map extract
in the Basics pupils' book.
5.
The pupils download the images into a DTP program
and label key features using the software tools,
saving their work and printing off their own copy.
