Lesson details
Key learning points
- Tools such as questionnaires, interviews and surveys can be used to collect data about tree planting sites.
- Maps and grid references can be used to identify and locate areas that may be suitable for tree planting.
- Scoring different options helps us to make a decision on where to plant trees.
Keywords
Grid references - A grid reference is a way of locating a point on a map using numbered squares
Survey - A survey is a way of collecting information by asking a set of questions
Risk assessment - A risk assessment looks at what hazards we might come across and how to keep us safe
Common misconception
A potential tree planting site needs to meet all of the survey requirements.
The most suitable location will be the site which has the most points. It would be ideal to score full points on the survey but trees could still be planted if some requirements weren't met.
Equipment
Map of the local area (could use maps from lesson 1 in this unit) and clipboards.
