Practical Skills for AS/A2 AQA Geography

A remarkably detailed resource covering the entire AQA Skills Checklist for the new specification.

What makes this resource special is that it covers so much – there are so many different kinds of graphs and maps explained, with examples of how each is used in Geography.

Incredibly comprehensive… I really like the way it's not just information but also activities to encourage learning of the skills. The data used in the different graphs all relates to the AQA units… Useful hints and tips for not just producing graphs, but also interpreting them effectively… Some of the harder skills are reinforced by short activities within the text, which is very helpful."
