This unit develops pupils' knowledge and understanding of the patterns and processes associated with massive limestone landscapes (rather than softer limestones such as oolitic limestone and chalk). Pupils are involved in two problem-solving activities: one that asks them to consider the impact of quarrying on the local community; the other to consider sustainable development as the way forward.
This unit focuses on specific landforms above and below ground in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, although other areas could be substituted.
Throughout the unit pupils are encouraged to work collaboratively, to discuss issues and solve problems. There are also numerous opportunities for pupils to develop literacy skills.
This unit is expected to take 8-11 hours.
