23. On-site ‘over the fence’ traffic
survey
Lesson before. Students are given an enquiry question or hypothesis.
For example, ‘Which is the busiest road that surrounds the school?’ Talk
about sample and data collection techniques such as averaging.
Data collection lesson. Students work in small groups to survey the
traffic.
Lesson afterwards. Students produce appropriate data presentation
techniques, such as proportional arrow maps or located bar charts. They
also analyse the data.

practice
Fieldwork takes more

geography lessons

that easily fit within a
lesson
• Fieldwork needs to be
introduced in a
preceding lesson
• Fieldwork needs to be
followed up in the
following lesson(s)
