This week we’re “plugging a gap” in your knowledge from Higher.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Higher Geography course includes four\u00a0<\/span>global issues<\/span>\u00a0that you can study:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Climate Change<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Development & Health<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Energy<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    River Basin Management<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The knowledge in all four of these units can be referenced during the Advanced Higher exam. Use the Chalk Talk revision video to learn about Energy – take some brief notes that you can refer back to during revision for your prelim & final exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    The next part of\u00a0<\/span>descriptive statistics<\/span>\u00a0gets a little more complicated. First you look at two\u00a0<\/span>measures of dispersion<\/span>, which include range & inter-quartile range. You should be familiar with these from maths, but there’s a few reminders in there about how to treat data if it’s not straightforward.<\/span><\/p>\n

    You then go on to look at standard deviation. Again, you might be familiar with this from maths but please follow the steps in the worked example.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

    Pebble analysis\u00a0<\/span>is a common technique used in river, glacial and beach studies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    We will:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Use a random strategy to sediment\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Use callipers to measure pebble axes<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Use a roundness and angularity chart to learn about attrition of the sediment<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Talk about imbrication of sediment<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n
