How will these resources help you?

Many GCSE and A-level courses emphasise the diverse nature of the British Isles. However, students are often unaware of just how diverse it is. Students can mistake images of snow-covered Scottish mountains for the Alps and even Outer-Hebridean beaches for the Maldives. GCSE textbooks across the exam boards start their landscape units with ‘the physical diversity of the UK’, with students required to identify uplands and lowlands. These resources have been carefully selected to engage students in the diversity of the landscape. Students will understand a landscape in more depth if they appreciate how it was formed, either by natural causes such as the ice ages or sculpted by humankind. These resources support students studying units on coasts, rivers, urbanisation, glaciation, ecosystems and many more at a range of levels.
