Page 7: S3 Int2 Geography

Just like in S2, we study crowded human landscapes

Page 8: S3 Int2 Geography

and empty physical landscapes

Page 9: S3 Int2 Geography

First to Loch Lomond and its National Park, a wonderful physical landscape to study

Page 10: S3 Int2 Geography

The islands in Loch Lomond mark an important Scottish geographical boundary – separating Highland Scotland from Lowland Scotland

Page 11: S3 Int2 Geography

Not just the physical landscape, but the land uses are special and worthy of study, including the golf course where fees are up to £40,000 per year.

Page 12: S3 Int2 Geography

Tourism is a major land use and below is officially the most popular attraction in Scotland – Loch Lomond Shores

Page 13: S3 Int2 Geography

Landscapes change all the time and we need to be up-to-date. We look at controversial developments, such as here at Loch Sloy – and if you are wondering

what is controversial ….

Page 14: S3 Int2 Geography

This is what is controversial – some say that the hydro-electric power station spoils the view

Page 15: S3 Int2 Geography

And there are many other big issues. After the Houses of Parliament and 10 Downing Street, Glen Douglas below is the 3rd most important target for any country wishing

to attack Britain. Why?

Page 16: S3 Int2 Geography

Once you have understood that part of the geography of Scotland, we next go to somewhere a little different

Page 17: S3 Int2 Geography

We are off to the seaside, ice-creams and Punch and Judy

Page 18: S3 Int2 Geography

This is Dorset, a geologist’s paradise – and, therefore, our paradise as well

Page 19: S3 Int2 Geography

especially Lyme Regis, the fossil capital of the UK

Page 20: S3 Int2 Geography

But Dorset has other natural attractions as well, which need to be studied and explained.

Page 21: S3 Int2 Geography

But the weather isn’t always nice, otherwise you would not get those landforms

Page 22: S3 Int2 Geography

It also has the 4th most expensive area of land in the world, after New York, London and Hong Kong – the Sandbanks peninsula

Page 23: S3 Int2 Geography

And then straight to Paris,and of all the exciting sights there, we are going to be looking at .....

Page 24: S3 Int2 Geography

bicycles – you can work out why

Page 25: S3 Int2 Geography

We even try to work out the meaning of all the road signs

Page 26: S3 Int2 Geography

and, of course, the happiest place in the world – another controversial land use to study

Page 27: S3 Int2 Geography

And into the countryside to look at some very famous rural land uses surrounding Paris

Page 28: S3 Int2 Geography

The vineyards of Champagne

Page 29: S3 Int2 Geography

Another exciting geographical study this year – these are not just any cows

Page 30: S3 Int2 Geography

Their milk is used in making the famous Brie cheese, just east of Paris

Page 31: S3 Int2 Geography

Off next to study more exotic places – a city of 18 million people

Page 32: S3 Int2 Geography

So it can become a little crowded - we find out why so many people want to live in Mumbai

Page 33: S3 Int2 Geography

And to the south of Mumbai is the village of Nitte, where our partner school is found

Page 34: S3 Int2 Geography

We look at farming around Nitte

Page 35: S3 Int2 Geography

And how to plant rice in flooded fields on hillsides

Page 36: S3 Int2 Geography

By March we have travelled at hurricane speed to Central America. It’s time to look at different types of natural disaster.

Page 37: S3 Int2 Geography

We investigate what causes hurricanes and especially the causes and devastating effects of Hurricane Mitch

Page 38: S3 Int2 Geography

Caused not just by the wind but, as here, the appalling floods which submerged most of Honduras

Page 39: S3 Int2 Geography

We look at accurate and less accurate ways of forecasting hurricanes.

Page 40: S3 Int2 Geography

And then further west to Mt. St. Helens, and the causes and effects of its eruption in 1980

Page 41: S3 Int2 Geography

and we finish the course quite appropriately with the geography of death

Page 42: S3 Int2 Geography

and why people live longer in some areas of the world than others

Page 43: S3 Int2 Geography

Sometime at the end of the year there is a field-trip to either …

Page 44: S3 Int2 Geography

Iceland or, shown below, Switzerland or maybe somewhere else

Page 45: S3 Int2 Geography

What about a bike ride to an old lake in Bolivia, now just salt?

Page 46: S3 Int2 Geography

So Geography in S3 is similar to that in S2. If you like Geography in S2 you will enjoy S3. If you don’t, you won’t. But it won’t be boring. We don’t do Boring .

Page 47: S3 Int2 Geography

Especially this boring – in Mexico

Page 48: S3 Int2 Geography

We don’t think Geography in S3 will be too painful, unless ..

Page 49: S3 Int2 Geography

Unless, you are inclined to be lazy
