The outline emphasizes global citizenship, understanding dynamic change, decision-making shaped by attitudes and values, and building independent learning skills through fieldwork and day trips. The document lists core topic areas such as coastal landscapes, hot deserts, natural hazards, ecosystems and tropical rainforests, plus UK physical landscapes and rivers, glaciated landscapes and fieldwork. It also details assessed areas: locational and contextual knowledge, maps/fieldwork/geographical skills using GIS and contrasting environments, and geography of place including processes, relationships, resources management and global development and urban society.","Geography GCSE   \nCurrent Examining Board: AQA  \nThe current specification followed in Geography is the AQA GCSE 8035 syllabus.  \nThis challenging and stimulating course offers opportunities for the students to:  \n• develop a sense of place and an appreciation of the environment  \n• develop an understanding of global citizenship  \n• appreciate that the world around them is dynamic and that their actions and decisions contribute to this change  \n• understand the significance of people’s attitudes and values in decision making  \n• acquire and apply a variety of geographical skills and techniques  \n• develop skills of independent learning and develop a depth of knowledge and understanding of places and geographical concepts that do and will affect their lives  \nThe course is taught over three years and provides a balanced coverage of physical, human and environmental aspects. The extra year allows for integrated enrichment activities and coverage of a wider curriculum.  \nThere will be day trips/fieldwork and the ability to respond to relevant current affairs stories and to develop presentation skills and independent learning assignments.  \nThe following topics will be covered:  \n• Coastal Landscapes  \n• Managing Resources: Water  \n• Hot Deserts  \n• Managing Resources: Food  \n• Natural Hazards  \n• Managing Resources: Energy  \n• The Changing Economic World  \n• Cold Environments  \n• Urban Issues and Challenges  \n• Ecosystems and Tropical Rainforests  \n• UK Physical Landscapes and Rivers  \n• Glaciated Landscapes  \n• Physical and Human Fieldwork  \nA four day Geography tour to Iceland (optional) has been introduced at GCSE – aimed at Year 10 Geographers to support their Physical Geography topics. This trip offers the rare opportunity to visit a unique and awesome landscape of glaciers and ice caps and of active volcanic scenery – lava flows, volcanic cones, geysers and geothermal pools. It is the only place on Earth where we can get into a rifting plate margin.  \nGCSE Syllabus Specification   \nThe areas that will be tested are:  \nLocational knowledge  \nContextual knowledge of the world’s continents, countries, regions and their physical, environmental and human features.  \nMaps, Fieldwork and Geographical Skills  \nThe use of a range of maps, atlases, Ordnance Survey maps, satellite imagery and other graphic and digital material including the use of Geographic Information Systems. Different approaches to fieldwork undertaken in at least two contrasting environments.  \nPlace: processes and relationships  \nGeography of the UK.  \nPhysical Geography: processes and change  \nGeomorphic processes and landscape, changing weather and climate.  \nPeople and environment: processes and interactions  \nGlobal ecosystems and biodiversity, Resources and their management.  \nHuman Geography: processes and change  \nCities and urban society, Global economic and development issues.","cbCaihtvXCH1L8dx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihtvXCH1L8dx","pdf",93200,1,2,"English","en",105,"# Course overview\n## Learning outcomes and course structure\n## Fieldwork and enrichment activities\n# Topic areas\n## Coastal landscapes and resource management\n## Natural hazards, environments and ecosystems\n## UK physical landscapes and rivers, glaciated landscapes\n# Exam syllabus and assessed areas\n## Locational knowledge and contextual knowledge\n## Maps, fieldwork and geographical skills (GIS)\n## Place, processes and relationships","[{\"question\":\"How long is the AQA GCSE Geography course and what does the extra year enable?\",\"answer\":\"The course is taught over three years.
