STUDY TOPICS and GUIDES
Geopix Study Topics are for students revising for Geology and Geography, particularly at AS/A2 level. Revision notes are illustrated by many photographs, accompanied by full explanations and exam guidance.
Each Study Topic may be downloaded, at a small charge, for individual educational use.
Sets of similar Topics are collected into Study Guides which are available on CD-ROM and these may be purchased for individual educational use.
EXAM COMMENTARIES for OCR and WJEC A LEVEL GEOLOGY give all the answers and the reasons for the answers, illustrated by photographs and diagrams where appropriate. There are hints about exam technique and warnings against common pitfalls. Available for Summer 2006, Winter 2007, Summer 2007.
ALSO AVAILABLE FROM GEOPIX:
The GEOPIX DICTIONARY OF GEOLOGICAL TERMS FOR A LEVEL includes definitions of all the terms listed in the specifications - and many more - mostly written in the style of exam answers, and grouped into subject areas for easier revision.
VOLCANOES; ILLUSTRATED BY TENERIFE and VOLCANOES; ILLUSTRATED BY ICELAND are descriptions of volcanoes, volcanic processes and products suitable for A Level study, but also for the holidaymaker. Both guides have the same content, but different examples, photographs and suggestions for places to visit.
MAPWORK FOR A LEVEL GEOLOGY explains how to interpret geological maps used in AS and A2 exams. Worked examples – including some from past exams – show how to draw cross sections and compile a geological history of the area. The more advanced maps produced by the British Geological Survey are explained, and there is an introduction to strike lines (although these are not required for A Level). The guide is designed to cover the units of the WJEC specifications which cover mapwork (GL2 and GL4-E4) and is included in some of the WJEC Combined CDs.
FIELDWORK FOR A LEVEL GEOLOGY outlines a number of approaches to the fieldwork option as described in the WJEC specifications, although the content is equally relevant to OCR students. This guide is arranged according to the assessment criteria of Planning, Implementing, Analysing and Conclusions, and Evaluation as applied to the practical skills identified in the GL1 course. The guide is included in some of the WJEC compendium CDs.
WJEC COURSE GUIDES are compiled specifically for the WJEC A Level Geology specifications, amply illustrated by photographs and diagrams. The guides include commentaries for some previous exams (old syllabus) and glossaries for selected topics. The Units available are
- GL1 Foundation Geology
- GL3 Geology and the Human Environment
- GL4 Interpreting the Geological Record (parts E1, E2, E3)
The WJEC units are available in various combinations, including Fieldwork (GL2 and GL6) and Mapwork for A Level Geology (GL2 and GL4), on CD and by download.
