Applied UnderstandingApplied Understanding

Applied UnderstandingApplied Understanding

• What is tourism?• Why has tourism increased over the past 50

years?• What is a ‘Honeypot’?• What are the advantages and disadvantages

of tourism? • Why is Malvern popular with tourists?• What is an AONB?• State the Hypothesis and the enquiry

questions.

MethodologyMethodology

This is what we did

MethodologyMethodology

• Follow the guidance on the table and develop it.

• Add in any theory regarding things like footpath erosion.

• Evaluate the methods. • Use any photographs of you

actually collecting the data, annotate them.

Data PresentationData Presentation

This is when where we use the data and put it in graphs, table and on maps

For each method For each method suggest how you could suggest how you could

are needed to see this picture.

This is where I describe and explain my graphs and maps.

Data Interpretation

• The graph/ map/ table showing…(title of map/ graph /table).

• It shows… (describe the pattern).• This is because… (give reasons for the

pattern). • This can help me to answer the enquiry

question…(write relevant enquiry question).

Data Interpretation

• From the _________ showing ___________ I can see……(describe what the map/graph/table etc. shows – include figures in your description – go into as much detail as you can).

• One explanation for these results is…………• Another reason for…………………. is

…………………………..• This data suggest the hypothesis is (true/false). This is

because……

Conclusion

• Write a summary of your key findings in this investigation. You can write these in bullet points.

Evaluation

• Have you collected enough data? • Have you had any problems collecting this data? • Describe the disadvantages of the techniques used • Would your results have been improved if you had

collected more data, different data, data at a different time or data with a different method?

• How might you improve your methods if you repeated the study?

• Do you think your results are accurate?

Evaluation

• Identify which results support your hypothesis and give reasons

• Identify which results reject your hypothesis and give reasons

• Explain why your conclusions might not be applied to other similar examples

• Explain why your conclusions might be invalid or wrong • What needs to be done to:

– Increase the accuracy of results – Increase the reliability of methods – Increase the validity of the conclusions

To increase the accuracy of the
