  Fieldwork Techniques:  
  Collecting geographical data outdoors - this is called Primary Data.  
 

 
     
  Stages of a Geographical Investigation involving fieldwork:
  • Think of a good 'BIG' geographical question? 
  • Think of some other smaller questions that might structure our investigation
  • Think of your methods and find the data using primary and/or secondary data and select what you need.
  • Describe, and explain (analyse and interpret) your findings (or results). Present your data as diagrams and writing.
  • Evaluate your investigation. How reliable are your results and conclusion. Does your local study match the secondary data about national statistics? What could you have done better?
