Why was Criccieth a good location for physical fieldwork? (2)
It had a range of hard engineering strategies to compare
It wasn't far from school
It had areas with and without hard engineering to compare
It had a good weather forecast at that time of year
Why was measuring groyne height useful for reaching our aims? (3)
We can tell if groynes are building up the beach
We can tell if longshore drift is being prevented
Groynes are very easy to measure accurately
A large beach is effective in preventing erosion
What equipment was needed to measure groynes? (2)
A meter ruler
A clinometer
A tape measure
A flow meter
Which is the correct order for a fieldwork investigation?
Conclusion, evaluation, data collection, presentation, question
Data collection, question, evaluation, presentation, conclusion

Question, data collection, presentation, conclusion, evaluation
Which presentation techniques could we have used to compare erosion rates on a map?
Located proportional symbols
Line graphs
Located bar charts
Radar diagrams
In what section would you discuss improvements to your investigation?
Hypothesis
Conclusion
Evaluation
Analysis
Which other data collection techniques could you have used for your physical fieldwork? (2)
A clinometer to measure beach gradient
A pedestrian count to measure visitors
A questionnaire to ask local's opinions
A flow meter to measure river velocity
What was our human fieldwork title?
What impact has regeneration in Salford Quays had on the physical and human environment?
To what extent has regeneration in Salford Quays created social, economic and environmental opportunities?
What impact has regeneration in Salford Quays had on UK media?
To what extent has regeneration in Salford Quays improved the lives of local people?
Which sampling method did we use for our human fieldwork?
Stratified sampling (sites divided into groups)
Random sampling (sites picked at random)
Systematic sampling (sites at regular intervals)
Why was Salford Quays a good location for our fieldwork? (2)
It wasn't far away from our school.
It is an example of an urban regeneration scheme.
It had a range of sites that could be easily compared.
We knew it was successful already because it's well-known.
What presentation technique did we use to present building use in Salford?
A land use map
Radar diagrams
Proportional symbols
Stacked bar charts
If bar graphs are plotted on a map they are called:
Located bar graphs
Enlarged bar graphs
Mapified bar graphs
Reduced bar graphs
Isolines are often used to join up:
Areas of the same value on a map
Areas that look the same on a map
Areas that are important on a map
Areas with different values on a map
We rated the physical environment at each site in Salford using:
An environmental Quality Survey (EQS)
A radar diagram
A bipolar survey
A noise meter
Accuracy of data collection techniques was influenced by: (2)
Human error when taking readings
Subjective views (students had different opinions)
Time of the day
Time of the year
Reliability of conclusions could be improved by:
Taking more readings to form an average
Revisiting at different times of day/year
Improving accuracy of data collection techniques
Using more secondary data
What factors affected the accuracy of your pedestrian count? (2)
Counting people multiple times
Counting in large open spaces
The time of day
The time of year
How could we reduce bias in our EQS results? (3)
Ensure the same person completes each survey.
Use very clear guidelines for each category.
Compare multiple EQS scores and take an average.
Complete at different times of day.
What factors did we have to take into account when forming our human fieldwork conclusions? (3)
Construction work
Birds on the canal
Time of day visited
Weather conditions
Why was it useful to locate our isolines on a map? (3)
We were able to compare different sites
We could identify patterns more easily
We could compare with other data e.g. land use map
They added more colour to the map
Which data collection techniques were presented using radar diagrams? (2)
Environmental Quality Surveys (EQS)
Noisemeter readings
Bipolar surveys
Land use surveys
What is an anomaly?
Data that does not fit with a trend or pattern
Data that has not been recorded accurately
Data that has been presented incorrectly
What improvements to the physical and human environment did we measure in Salford? (2)
Happy residents and visitors
A good mixture of homes, entertainment and businesses
Well-maintained paths, benches and street furniture
Improved water quality
Which was not a significant risk in Criccieth?
Risk of tide coming in
Risk of falling/tripping on sea defenses
Risk of being hit by boats
Risk of dog-walkers
Which was not a significant risk in Salford?
Risk of being assaulted/robbed
Risk of building materials falling on students
Risk of traffic near busy roads
Risk of getting separated during tram journeys
How did we reduce risks during our physical fieldwork? (3)
Students worked together in small groups
Students wore appropriate clothing/footwear
Students did not walk on or near cliff edges
Student wore florescent jackets at all times
How could we increase the accuracy of groyne height measurements? (2)
Ensure meter ruler is straight
Measure a larger number of groynes
Re-measure at different times of year
Complete more measurements and take an average
Why were field sketches useful in reaching our physical fieldwork aims? (2)
We could compare areas with and without hard engineering
They are easy to complete with little equipment needed
They are good for visually presenting our data
We could record effects of erosion on unprotected cliffs
