The question is based on the following passage. There have been a number of differences in the way geography is now to be approached in the National Curriculum. It was decided that there would be a renewed emphasis on spatial knowledge, as well as the human and physical processes. This should cover some technical procedures such as using grid references. There should also be a renewed commitment towards the concept of fieldwork and the use of maps, as well as written communication. Dealing with geography, the National Curriculum includes certain topics, but not necessarily how they should be taught. For example, the focus at key stage 1 is developing knowledge about the United Kingdom and the world. Students should study certain fact such as the world’s seven continents and their locations. They should be able to name and identify the four countries and capital cities of the UK. Trips to London may include extra -curricular education that can aid students‟ understanding of the United Kingdom. They also should be able to identify seasonal weather patterns, identify hot and cold areas of the world, and use world maps and globes to identify the UK and other countries and oceans. As they progress to key stage 2, students are expected to extend their knowledge to include Europe, North, and South America as well as significant human and physical features. They should be able to identify the position of latitude, longitude, the Equator and other large features of the world such as the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. Students at key stage 2 should study more physical geography including the climate zones, biomes and features such as volcanoes and earthquakes. Trips to destinations such as Iceland could encourage further learning about some of the worlds’ physical geography. There is a huge emphasis on geographical skills at this stage. Students should be able to use the eight points of a compass, four and six-figure grid references and keys on Ordinance Survey maps in order to develop their knowledge. The underlined word ‘seasonal’ in paragraph 2 means ….
