Our Advanced Higher pupils have just returned from a three day field trip to Kindrogan Field Studies Centre. As part of the Advanced Higher Geography course, pupils are required to gain experience in a variety of fieldwork techniques. This not only allows them to complete an essential component of a NAB but also provides them with the skills required to complete their coursework.

During the three day trip, pupils examined the characteristics of a river and soil profiles on a hillside. They also got a chance to map geomorphologic features in the glaciated area.  Pupils then spent their evenings back in the lab where they analysed their findings, ran statistical tests and worked on presenting their results and evaluations.

All pupils worked extremely hard during the (intensive) three days both in the field and in the lab.

Well done!
