GEOGRAPHY (Higher Grade)
· Human environments
· Industrial geography
Students carrying out independent research on 'Ravenscraig Steelworks as an example of industrial change' could use material from our collections, including aerial and ground level photos of the site from different periods, as well as map printouts from various dates.
Students could then consider the following questions and tasks:
· Why was Ravenscraig closed? What effect did this have on the local economy?
· Write half a page on your views of the proposals for the area. Do you think the plans are realistic?
· Look at the maps for Ravenscraig. Using the timeline can you propose a rough date for the map?
· Using the map that shows the Ravenscraig site when the steelworks were still in production, can you work out which direction the aerial photograph was taken from? Can you identify key features on the map than find them on the aerial photograph?
