Section B: Fieldwork
Question
- A. Fieldwork must be conducted only within school grounds
- B. Fieldwork must be carried out outside the classroom and school grounds on at least two occasions
- C. Fieldwork can be simulated using computer models
- D. Fieldwork is optional and can be replaced by secondary data
Answer
The correct answer is Fieldwork must be carried out outside the classroom and school grounds on at least two occasions. This option best matches Fieldwork because it supports the objective to carry out fieldwork outside the classroom and school grounds on at least two occasions.
Explanation
The correct option is Fieldwork must be carried out outside the classroom and school grounds on at least two occasions. Fieldwork must be carried out outside the classroom and school grounds on at least two occasions is correct because it directly answers the AQA GCSE Geography objective to carry out fieldwork outside the classroom and school grounds on at least two occasions in Fieldwork. For this version, define the key term, then link it to the named process or pattern; that makes the reasoning distinct from nearby practice questions on Section B: Fieldwork. Key curriculum terms to use are fieldwork. The other options are weaker if they confuse scale, process, evidence, impact, or the command word, so the response should stay within Geographical applications and explain the geographical link clearly.
Common mistake
Fieldwork Location Confusion
Students often confuse fieldwork locations with classroom settings, thinking they can conduct fieldwork inside the classroom.
Emphasize the importance of conducting fieldwork outside the classroom and school grounds to gather authentic primary data.
