Form 2 homework - Using OS maps in Bembridge

Have a look at the following website page:

http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/education/pdf/Mapreadingmadeeasy.pdf

It is a pdf file that has been produced in the UK by an organisation called Ordnance Survey. They produce maps on behalf of the UK Government.

You must first of all have a look at page 7 of the booklet. It shows a map of a part of the UK. You must answer the following questions:

1.Produce a paragraph which is no less than 5 sentences which describes the area. Think about the following in your paragraph:
a.PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY (natural features of the area)
b.HUMAN GEOGRAPHY (man made features)
Try and picture yourself being in this place and the things that you would see.

2.Create 5 questions about the distance between 2 places on the map. Write down these questions and also provide the answers. For example, ‘What is the distance along the coastal footpath between Culver Down and the campsite at Peacock Hill Farm?’ ANSWER : 700 metres or 0.7 km. You may need to conduct some research because you may not recognise some of the map symbols.

3.What evidence is there that this can be dangerous place?

4.What do you think it would be like living in a place like this? Explain your reasons why you would/or would not like to live a place like this.

Good luck!
