How the student book relates to the activity book
The Activity Book 3 in the same series (Class 8) follows almost the same chapters, so a school may use both. Compare the contents: the student book has five topics in the oceans chapter (the activity book has four), and it adds geoskills pages, review pages and a fieldwork topic. The student book carries the explanations; the activity book carries the practice.
What is distinctive about this book
- Directive terms (page vi). Before the first chapter, a page explains the words that exam questions start with, such as "describe", "explain" and "compare". Learn them before you begin.
- Skills pages. Geoskills: Mental maps (page 38) and Geoskills: Photograph interpretation: Agriculture (page 114) teach a method rather than a fact.
- Fieldwork. In the field: Investigating soils (page 58) is a practical investigation that students can do around school.
- Local comparisons. Climate patterns: Karachi and New York City (page 33), Case study: Cotton (page 74) and Measuring wellbeing in Australia (page 112) place Pakistan beside other countries.
- Review pages. Two Review and reflect pages (40 and 116) give a stop-and-think point in the middle and at the end of the book.
How to use the student book
- Read the directive terms page first and keep it open when you answer questions.
- Read a topic, then make a sketch or a one-line summary.
- Do the geoskills pages with real photographs and maps. A newspaper photo works well for photograph interpretation.
- Link the chapters. Pollution (chapter 3), industry (4), transport (5) and development (6) are all connected; draw a mind map.
- Use the review pages before the mid-year and final tests.
