Introduction to geography pack

GEOGRAPHY KEY STAGE 3 EXPECTATIONS
In order to fulfil your potential and achieve the very highest levels in Geography,
follow these tips:
1 Be punctual to all Geography lessons. If you are unavoidably late,
apologise and explain immediately to your teacher.
2 When entering the Geography classroom, get out your equipment and
wait, standing behind your desk for the teacher to greet you.
3 Bring all correct equipment to lessons:
 Pack
 Text book and Atlas
 Pens, pencils, ruler, scissors, glue, colouring pens or pencils
4 Listen carefully to instructions. Do not interrupt your teacher or another
student when they are asking or answering a question. Put your hand up
if you wish to contribute thoughtful geographical ideas and questions.
5 All work must be given a title and date, underlined. All work must be
done in the pack; pages have been provided.
6 All homework tasks must be fully completed and handed in during the
following lesson. Your pack will be returned to you before the next lesson,
when you should do your homework in time for the following lesson. For
example, if your lesson is on a Monday then your pack will be collected in
at the end of the lesson. You will then be given back your marked pack
sometime that week and you will then have the weekend to do the
homework due for the next Monday’s lesson.
7 If work is considered unsatisfactory it must be redone. The marking
scheme is A for excellent, B for good, C for satisfactory, D for
unsatisfactory. If you have a D then you must do the work again. Any
homework that is not handed in will receive an order mark and must still
be completed. You MUST read and do the target on the homework sheet
before the next lesson.
8 If you miss work through illness, music lesson or sports match etc., it is
your responsibility to catch up as soon as possible. All the resources,
packs and homework can be found on the MyQG.
9 If you lose your pack, then it is your responsibility to print another one
before the next lesson and do all the work again!

Dear Parent/Guardian,
Girls in Remove, LIV and Form IV are using a homework resource in Geography
called Doddle: www.doddlelearn.co.uk. The girls have all been told how to use
this and have been given their user name and password. Some of the girls have
reported problems in logging on to this site so I am sending all parents details of
the logon process just in case there are any problems.
Each girl should log on using their first initial and their surname, all one word
and all in lower case @queensgate.org.uk. For example, if a girl’s name is
Pamela Jones, then she should use pjones@queensgate.org.uk. The password is
the same for every girl: password.
If a girl has a double barrelled surname with a hyphen, she should still use a
hyphen; if a double barrelled surname does not have a hyphen, then it should
appear as one word e.g. Pamela Jones Warren
pjoneswarren@queensgate.org.uk
Could you please ensure that the internet access that your daughter is using to
do her homework has Flash Player downloaded, has pop ups enabled and has
not blocked the Doddle site. I am aware that some parents have blocked certain
sites such as Facebook, so please ensure that Doddle is not blocked.
If all the above is followed than there should be no reason why your daughter
cannot access this site to complete her Geography homework. Please ask your
daughter to report any problem to me and I will try to help her to sort it out. If
your daughter has problems logging on, it would help if you could take a screen
shot and forward it to secretary@queensgate.org.uk, marked for the attention of
Miss Scott, so that I can forward details to the company to sort out whatever the
problem might be.
I would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that girls are able to use
the computers or laptops at school to complete their homework. They may use
the Library at lunch time or after school.
Yours sincerely,
S. Scott (Miss)
Geography Department

Every day we are influenced by the world around us. Places we hear about,
food we eat, people we meet and the clothes we wear. You are connected to
people and places all over the world in a variety of ways.
១1 On a copy of the map below, show how you are connected to different
places around the world. Think about:
១4 How many places have you actually visited? How many of your
connections are through people, rather than through possessions?

Latitude
Name ________________________________________________________________________________
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines that run from east to west
around the Earth. The Equator is the line of latitude that runs
around the middle of the Earth. Latitude is used to describe the
position of a place north or south of the Equator.
The latitude of any place on the Earth can be measured in degrees
( ° ) from the Equator, either north or south. This can be found by
drawing a line from the place to the centre of the Earth and
measuring the angle that it makes with a line from the Equator.

LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE
1. Study the diagram below. Print the correct statements from the list;
North Pole, South Pole, Equator, Greenwich Meridian, Longitude Line, Latitude Line
53
Arctic Circle, Prime Meridian, Tropic of Capricorn, Tropic of Cancer, Equator, North Pole, South
Pole, Antarctic Circle
2. Tick if it is right, cross if it is wrong;
Lines of latitude give how far north or south a place is
Lines of latitude give how far east or west a place is
Lines of longitude give how far east or west a place is
The Equator is a line of latitude
The Equator is a line of longitude
The Greenwich Meridian is a line of longitude

REVIEW LATIUDE AND LONGITUDE
1.
Latitude
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines that run horizontally across the Earth. The main
line is the E_______________, which is 0°. All latitude lines are p_______________
to each other. Lines are drawn horizontally to the north or south of the Equator.
These are numbered from 0° to 90°, which is either the __________ _________at
90° north or the ___________ _________ at 90° south. Other important latitude
lines include the Tropic of _____________ at 23½° north, the Tropic of
_____________at 23½° south, the _____________ Circle at 66½° north and the
_______________Circle at 66½° south.
Longitude
Lines of longitude are imaginary lines that run vertically from the North Pole to the
South Pole. The main line is the _________ _______________, which runs through
Greenwich and has the value of 0°. Longitude lines can be drawn 180° to the east
or west of the _________ ______________. Because the Earth is so large it is
necessary to divide each degree into 60 minutes and each minute into 60 seconds.
This means that there are a large number of imaginary lines that can be drawn
vertically and horizontally so that any place on the Earth’s surface can be precisely
located.
2. Use your atlas to complete the missing latitudes or longitudes. Then plot them
on the map on the next page.

Maps are useful to people. They help us to find out
where places are and what they are like. An atlas
shows many places around the world. These
places may be easily found using latitude and
longitude.
Imagine you have won a holiday leaving London
and flying to five cities across the world. However,
you have not been told where you are going.
Instead, the travel company has sent you a text
message that uses latitude and longitude
coordinates and you have to find out for yourself!
Congratulations! You’ve won a
holiday visiting five cities.
