AQA GCSE Geography requires you to complete two fieldwork investigations — one in a physical geography environment and one in a human geography environment. You must understand the entire enquiry process, from designing a question to evaluating your conclusions. This lesson covers the framework for planning, conducting and writing up any geographical fieldwork investigation.
Every geographical investigation follows a structured process:
| Stage | Key Question |
|---|---|
| 1. Question / Hypothesis | What are you investigating? What do you expect to find? |
| 2. Data collection | What data do you need? How will you collect it? |
| 3. Data presentation | How will you display your results? |
| 4. Data analysis | What do your results show? Are there patterns? |
| 5. Conclusions | What answers can you give to your original question? |
| 6. Evaluation | How reliable was your investigation? What could be improved? |
The following diagram summarises the steps in the geographical fieldwork enquiry process:
