Assessment

Learning Outcomes(LOs)
LO 1
GEOGRAPHICAL ENQUIRYThe learner will be able to use enquiry skills to investigate geographical and environmental concepts and processes.
Assessment standards(ASe)
We know this when the learner:
1.1 identifies a variety of geographical and environmental sources relevant to an inquiry [finds sources];
1.2 organises and interprets information relevant to the enquiry from simple graphs, maps, and statistical sources [works with sources];
1.3 measures distances on globes atlases and maps using line scales [works with sources];
1.4 uses local maps and/or orthophoto maps to locate and investigate the issue and its context (compares with field observations) [works with sources];

Memorandum

Activity 1:

1. 4

2. single track railway

3. Dwars River

4. Koekedou River

5. Main town, second direct east of main town, third north east of main town Nduli.

6. Slab Peak 1 392 m

7. 6,2 cm × 50 000 = 310 000 cm ÷ 10 000 = 3,1 km

8. Aartappel River region is situated in the wide, even river valley, where contours are far from one other to represent a flat slope. The south western region is a higher, mountainous area with steep, mountainous slopes. The contours are therefore very close to one other.
