    • Explain why the chosen location was suitable for the collection of data
      Saldord quays is easily accesible - 30mins from school, allowing max amount of time for data collection in a school day. Also close enough to return if further collection is needed
      Pedestrianised with 1 tram line to cross _ safe
    • Assess the suitability of the location
      Very
      Undergone regeneration: industrialised dockland->derelict->media city
      Lowry, shopping centre, bbc, imperial war museum
      30 mins away
      Lots of info (census and photos) of before regeneration, see how much it has changed, make a more accurate evaluation
    • justify a primary data collection method used
      Land use map
      Looking at it, I can see how successful regeneration has been
      Expect a regenerated area to have a wide variety of land uses appealing to diff people
    • Assess the effectiveness of your data collection method - land use map
      To some extent
      Allowed us to see how the land is used
      If regeneration is successful, land use should be mixed and cater for loadlas, businesses, and tourists
      Tallying up what the buildings are used for let's us see which area of sq is successful
      Key so categories aren't too broad so it isn't difficult to figure out who it caters for
    • Assess the effectiveness of your data collection method - pedestrian count
      Effective way of seeing how busy it is
      Make a judgement on success as more people = more successful
      Quantitative data can be analysed and link it to land use
      Easy method and can be carried out at all locations to give enough data
    • Assess the effectiveness of your data collection method - environmental quality surveys
      Only partially
      Too subjective as they're based on opinions
      Whilst provides quantitive data and method is easy to repeat, conclusion is not valid
    • Identify a potential risk and explain how it was reduced
      Stranger danger
      Always in a group of 4-5
      Emergency phone number
      Told to go into a shop or restaurant if concerned or lost
    • Explain how a data presentation technique helped you interpret the data
      Pie chart easier to analyse than in land use map
      Land use data was tallied and put in pie chart allows us to see main land uses and can easily comprare to find similarities
      Can use numerical evidence to reach conclusion
      Easier to use this data with other data such as questionnaires to see if people's opinion of the 2 areas is affected by the land use or if land use data affects environment quality surveys I also conducted
    • Justify the use of one of the following in your enquiry: photographs/field sketches, maps
      Maps - useful for putting the data on to show links between data sets as they can be included on 1 map. Shows location and gives clear visual presentation
      Photographs - good visual rep of landscape. Quick and easy. Can easily be referred back to. Easy to compare locations
      Field sketches - sketch is quick, visual
    • Suggest how anomalies could affect your enquiry
      Difficult to identify in data collection so methods remain unchanged, leading to inaccurate data being collected
    • 9 marker
      Answer question
      Didn't collect enough data - only measured ground floor use, didn't look for secondary data that says how spaces are used for events, conclusion inaccurate
      However, whilst tourists may be catered to more, would still show regeneration as more people are living & visiting sq

      Questionnaire data made me reach a conclusion that people felt happy, cold Thursday winter morning so less people = small data size & conclusion not truly representative
      To improve, ask at least 50, go another day

      Environmental quality survey shows environment has improved, regeneration a success, but based on my opinion so not reliable and easily affected by age, time, and weather
      More frequent EQS and combine data with a classmate to remove bias, improving reliability
    • What is the enquiry question?
      Has the regeneration of Salford quays been successful
    • enquiry
      How does the cross profile of river dean brook change with distance from the source
    • Explain location
      Easily accessible - close by so data could be collected in one day to reduce risk of inaccuracies.
      Public land so no permission is needed and is free so we can easily revisit
      Not too big - needed to compare upper, middle, and lower, needed to choose a river that was safe to access all three sections, reduce risk of injury or death
    • assess the suitability
      Easily accessible
      Safe size, less like to drown
      (Explain location)
    • Justify a primary collection method
      Measured width at 3 locations - shows diff between 3 sites and how width changes as you move downstream. Combine with depth to create cross profile to visualise the changes to river channel
      Depth - same but depth, also find average depth
    • How to measure width of a river
      Use a tape measure, pull it tightly above the surface of river, bank to bank
    • How to measure depth of a river
      Divide width into 10ths, use a wooden ruler to measure depth at each tenth
    • Suggest why data collected may not be accurate
      Depth - human error (ruler pushed into river Ben rather than on surface), bedload affected true depth measurement
      Width - tape not tight = dragged by river flow, false width. Also hard to access both edges of bank due to risks of falling in
    • Assess the effectiveness of data collection methods
      Width - Tape measure effectively measures width and allows us to link it to the Bradshaw model to see how river width increases from source to mouth, easy to use to draw cross profile
      Depth - Average depth means it’s more comparable whilst also using multiple depths to easily visualise & more accurate
      Systematic sampling at each site means enough data was gathered to draw a detailed cross profile
      Same day means I can compare
    • Assess the effectiveness of your Presentation Technic, in your Physical Geography enquiry
      Cross sections - effective, easy to visualise and compare at each site. Can easily link to our hypothesis & Bradshaw model and shows both river depth and width
      However, scale was initially confusing and it takes a long time to draw all diagrams
      To improve, we should take photos and used a cross profile template
    • Identify a potential risk and explain how it was reduced
      Slipping & drowning - wearing wellies or shoes with grips, groups means somebody can get help
      Weils disease - wounds covered and gloves worn to prevent contact with water
    • Explain how data presentation technique used can help interpret the data
      Combining depth and width means I can easily draw detailed cross profiles for each site. Can also work out volume. Easy to see changes and compare
      river dean brook gets wider & deeper, meaning it matches bradshaw model
    • Justify use of map/sketch/photo
      Map - data all in one place, can be hard to read, shows location of enquiry & all sites. Also shows land use & relief which may affect results
      Sketches - quick, visual
    • Anomalies
      • Lead to inaccurate results
      • Difficult to identify so methods aren’t changed leading to more inaccurate data
      • Inaccurate analysis, esp when calculating averages
    • To what extent did data collected Allow you to reach a valid conclusion?
      1. Some
      2. Reach a valid conclusion (state the conclusion)
      3. 3 cross profiles at different sites to compare
      4. To increase validity, visit more sites or use systematic sampling but takes too long & not doable in a day
      5. Combine with classmates to create more cross profiles, reducing risk of anomalies and increasing reliability
      6. Data collection might not be accurate - human error, difficult to identify
      7. Did match Bradshaw model so suggests it’s accurate
