Publisher's Synopsis
An interactive guide to a range of basic geographical activities such as map reading, globe work and compass skills. The emphasis is on skill building and vocabulary. Using the theme of whale watching on the research ship HMS Bottlenose, this is a highly effective way to introduce pupils to key geographical skills. Key tools such as a Globe, a Map and Compass provide a way into the activities, which cover a wide range of geographical skills and knowledge from straight geographical knowledge such as the location of oceans and continents, through to more general environmental issues. The vocabulary section includes a dictionary but also activities such as the ships log which help put knowledge into context and make learning fun.
