Methods of Investigation...


3 marks available
​
Suggested word count of 300 out of the 2500 words


Deadline First Draft: Monday 14th June 2021

methodology instructions - student copy

​You must only describe the method(s) used to collect the data you will use.  Keep a close eye on your word count!

Here are the methods that you employed:


Occupied Channel Width
Bankfull Width
Wetted Perimeter
Gradient
Cross sectional area / profile
Velocity
Bedload size
Bedload shape


​You should only describe the methods for the data you are going to use to answer your sub-hypothesis and therefore the fieldwork question.

Remember you can use annotated photos/diagrams to help reduce the amount of words.

You must justify the methods used and the quality of the data collected.

You should discuss sampling techniques - see pages 159-162 of Waugh, David. Geography: An Integrated Approach.Third ed. Walton-on-Thames: Nelson, 2000.


​ALL DATA MUST BE RECORDED BY EVERY MEMBER OF THE GROUP


​Make sure you do the following...


- Describe each of the methods used to collect your data. Perhaps using annotated photographs / diagrams would be a good idea. 


- Describe how you collected your data (in teams of 5) & shared the data afterwards on a Google Sheet. 


- Describe where you recorded your data and include a scan of a completed page from the data collection booklet. 


- Describe how each method is relevant to helping to answer each of your hypotheses


- Discuss sampling techniques and mention limitations.
