Land use in the locality

Farming in the UK

Different types of land use in the UK

Using grid references to identify land use

Changing land use

The idea of land use is developed in more depth in 'Settlements: Where do people live and why?' where pupils will look at settlement patterns and make links between human and physical landscapes.

This unit builds on 'Local area: Why is (our place) special?' and other previous locality studies to develop pupils' ideas of features and the patterns of land use in the local area, and more widely in the UK, consolidating and developing what was learnt about the UK in 'The UK: What kind of place is is?'.

This unit explores how land is used in the local area and across the UK. Pupils investigate human and physical features, farming, land use types and change, using aerial photos, maps and grid references to describe and compare landscapes.
