Diary of a self confessed Geography geek

I have created an alter-ego, Brian Stack, a young Geographer who by his own admission is an utter Geography geek. Brian does have his uses though. He is currently visiting various places that have formed part of your GCSE Geography case studies. Beginning in the CBD of Middlesbrough, Brian has the misfortune of terrible things happening to him wherever he goes to. However, he can be relied upon to report accurately on aspects of the places and the processes going on, so as well as hopefully being entertaining it should be informative too.

To catch up with Brian, click on the following link there will be regular updates...

After a long break, the blog is back! Lots of help will be found here to help you in the lead up to exam time, and just as general help with the topics we are doing in class...

How to use Spearman's Rank for your GCSE coursework

I have outlined below how to use Spearman's Rank Correlation Co-efficient for comparing different sets of data. Those of you who have done the Saltburn and Yarm work can also use this, as long as you ensure that you do at least 12 sets of data. Those people doing Rivers obviously have 15 sites we covered at the Glenderaterra Beck. Along with this powerpoint, do also use the structured sheet I provided you with in class.

Coasts - An introductory movie

Look at the following movie and write down as many aspects of coasts as you can see...

Flooding...

All rather topical really...

You are all working well on your coursework at the moment. As an aside, you may want to take a look at this movie I've put together on the Boscastle floods of 2004. Click on the link below to be taken to the relevant place. It would be just as relevant to look at the ones in Rotherham and Doncaster once the long term effects can be assessed.

More coursework help and activities are on their way, which I've been working on, so do keep checking for updates :)
