A/AS Level Geography for AQA Student Book
Our suite of blended print and digital resources are written specifically for the new AQA A/AS Level Geography qualifications by an experienced author team of practising teachers and advisers. Our geography resources have a strong focus on the development of both knowledge and geographical skills, including fieldwork skills. With progression at the heart, we provide the tools for students to become reflective, enquiring and independent learners. Encouraging students to 'think like a geographer' and to understand the relevance of geography in the real world, this new series builds on Key Stage 4 knowledge and supports the delivery of the new subject content and assessment objectives at AS and A Level.
This full-colour Student Book covers all core and optional units for the AQA AS and A Level Geography specification for first teaching from September 2016. Students are encouraged to develop links between physical and human topics, understand systems, processes, and acquire geographical skills. Helping to bridge the gap from GCSE to A Level, it also provides support for fieldwork skills and for the geographical investigation at A Level. A ‘Maths for geographers’ feature helps students develop and apply their mathematical and statistical skills, and a range of assessment-style questions support students in developing their exam skills.
