This unit links to further work on the UK in 'The UK: Who are we?'. 'UK region: Why is the Lake District a National Park?' and particularly to fieldwork in 'Local area: What needs changing?' where pupils will return to the theme of local change and consider what changes they would like to see in the future and gather a range of perspectives on this before making recommendations. 

This unit directly builds on work in 'Settlements: Where do people live and why?' to examine change in your local area through a large scale investigation, using mapwork and other evidence, including fieldwork.

This unit develops pupils’ fieldwork skills through an investigation of change in the local area. Pupils observe, measure, map and record evidence of change, gather local views, and begin to consider how places evolve over time.
