Sometimes there is a need to spend more time on a concept to ensure students understand what it means and can apply it in context. Each Visualise This looks at a concept using visual tools such as diagrams, illustrations, maps and graphs. These are supported by text – the amount of text varies according to the nature of the concept. Each one is accompanied by Student Activities to reinforce understanding and is supported by resources such as video clips shared under content via this blog. Some concepts are relevant across Years 11 and 12 and can be used to support learning across a range of topics. For example, ecological succession is a process relevant to Earth’s Natural Systems (ecological systems) and Human Environment Interactions (land cover change following the retreat of ice sheets and glaciers) in Year 11 and Ecosystems and Biological Diversity in Year 12. New illustrations have been created in consultation with the authors of Powerful Geography 1. These go beyond those previously seen in print or online geography resources. There are 17 Visualise This – each linked to one of the content Focus Areas, yet applicable across many. The concepts include: · natural processes a such as global atmospheric and oceanic circulations, glacial and interglacial cycles, ecological succession and permafrost · human related processes and change – Demographic Transition Model (population), Global Value Chains and global commons (natural resources), the anthropocene, land cover change, tipping points, feedback loops and rewilding. · Fieldwork techniques for investigating natural and human places. The sample provided here Visualise This 5 (pdf below). Ecological Succession is a ‘raw’ document with screen captured illustrations for you to visualise the published version. It is not intended for use or sharing. In the published version illustrations will be the feature.
