TOPIC
South Africa has been experiencing load-shedding and the issue has now gotten
worse and it has been proposed that it can be a "national state of disaster. With
different approaches that can be used to solve the issue, choose one or two sources
of energy that can be used and outline how it works, what are the challenges with
using that source of energy, the advantages and disadvantages. Suggest measures
that can be used to improve the source of energy and solve the issue of load-
shedding
GUIDELINE: GEOGRAPHY GRADE 11 RESEARCH TASKS
Step 1: Formulating a hypothesis/problem statement
GRAND TOTAL= 100
Formulating a hypothesis /problem statement. As Geographers we seek to
understand and explain the interactions amongst humans and the environment in
space and time. This is achieved by asking questions or making informed
geographical decisions. This entails the development of a hypothesis or a problem
statement to be tested.
You have to choose a specific area of study where a geographical problem
exists.
.
Idently the p
Formulate a hypothesis or a problem statement. (Hypothesis research is used
to prove that certain variables are dependents on or independent of each
other Problem statement research is only to highlight that a specific problem
exists in a specific community.
You should then follow the steps of research to ensure that the geographical
question is answered
Step 2: background information about an area of study
•
You must explain where in South Africa the area is located. (This can be
indicated on map.)
Describe the study area in terms of its exact position (degrees, minutes and
seconds)
Provide relevant information about the area, for example population of the
area or climate of the area
Step 3: Mapping
.
.
You must provide a map of the area.
During this stage you must create a buffer zone around the area where the
geographical problem exists
The map should have a clear legend/key and must be drawn to scale. The
scale must be indicated on the map
If the map used covers a wider area, buffer zones around the area of study
should be created.
The map used should be the most recent map of the study area
