two graphs, making comparisons between the two climate graphs.
Travelling to and from India
This activity involves developing the map skill of marking routes on maps and looks at how you would travel between Europe and India. It then goes on to evaluate the different advantages and disadvantages of different types of transport.
Make a choropleth map
Here, we learn how to make a choropleth map to show Indian average rainfall. The darker colours indicate heavier rainfall and the lighter colours indicate lighter rainfall. They are quite tricky to do well and involve an understanding of shading.
A finished example
The first time that you make a choropleth map can be quite difficult to understand and having an example of a finished map does help
Indian rivers unscramble
This is a well designed and fun geography activity where you have to unscramble the letters to make the names of the major Indian rivers.
To help you with spelling and to give you a little clue, the names of the rivers are included on the worksheet written faintly along the sides.
Having deciphered all the names of the major Indian rivers, you could go on to conduct
research into one
of the rivers and
find out ten facts
about it.
India - Fact File
This activity asks you to complete a fact file about India with given headings all set out to guide and help you. All the information can be found at our web page on the Geography of India: http://www.3dgeography.co.uk/geography-of-india
India video comprehension
This activity asks the pupils to watch ten short video clips of 1-5 minutes long and then to think of a good question to ask, complete with answers, based on what they have just seen.
Pupils can then test their friends to see if their friends can answer their questions.
This is a good way to use tablet PCs / iPads in the classroom. All the videos can be found in order at:
