Finding patterns in data
Science · Earth's Systems · conceptual
Analyse and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth's features, recognising that many features result from processes that occur over long periods
What mastery looks like
- Use a map to identify patterns in the location of mountains, rivers, lakes, and other features
- Describe patterns observed (e.g. mountains in chains, rivers flow from high to low ground)
- Explain that Earth's features result from processes like erosion, volcanic activity, and plate movement over long periods
Check your understanding
Can Finding patterns in data look at a map and notice patterns like mountains running in lines, rivers flowing to the sea, or deserts clustered near the equator?
