Report Structure
• Area Desciption – must include the following: lat/longitude coordinates
• Description of where it is in relation to the CBD, ie direction from CBD, kilometres from the CBD and area size in km squared
• Description must directly refer to the site map
Report Structure
• Use a clear overhead sheet transparency on top of one of the photocopied maps of Bantry Bay that I have provided for you. This will demonstrate where the 2 testing creeks (polluted and unpolluted) were, human landuse areas and parks/reserves
Report Structure
• Provide a climate description which must include temperature range and rainfall patterns for the year
Report Structure
• Provide a clear description of the weather experienced on the day of excursion.
Report Structure
• Divide the report into the 4 separate spheres
• Each sphere MUST be defined• Use the sub heading Investigation
into Human impact on the Lithosphere for each sphere
• Within each sphere deal with the tests that fit within these spheres
Report Structure
• Each fieldwork test should have the same report structure:
• Aim• Method• Result• A photo, table and /or graph should
appear for each test.
Report Structure
• Then for the next section use the sub heading Implications for the Future/Management Options
Report Structure
• Provide a relevant conclusion
Report Structure
• Include a detailed bibliography
