Geography Books

Model Town is a unique resource designed to help pupils have great fun with a ‘Settlement Study’. One class plus simple photocopiable printed nets from the book equals a great fun and simple to build model town, which can be pinned to a notice board for all to see. Then, use the model to work with oblique and vertical aerial photographs (provided in the book), learn about plans, use map references, points of the compass, map symbols, scale and carry out geographical investigations in your own area. Research activities help pupils understand how the physical environment affects individual lives.
