Grade 11 Geography Practical Geography Notes

This focused study page introduces Practical Geography and provides a revision activity. Use it alongside your classroom notes and the current curriculum design.

Key ideas

Practical geography uses evidence from maps, observations and measurements. A map scale relates map distance to ground distance, but units must match before calculation. Fieldwork begins with a clear question and a suitable sampling method. Tables and graphs should identify units, locations and dates.

Practice activity

Design a small investigation of traffic near a school. Choose observation points, counting intervals and a safe recording method.

Check your response

State limitations such as weather, unusual events and a sample that is too short to represent typical conditions.
