OCR B
Students will be assessed on fieldwork by questions in the context of both Paper 1 Our Natural World
and Paper 2 People and Society components in the final exam. There will be questions both in relation to
students’ own experiences of fieldwork and on fieldwork examples in unfamiliar contexts.
Fieldwork is linked to five of the eight topics in the OCR B specification. Each of these links is covered by
fieldwork spreads in the Student Book, as follows:
Chapter Topic Spread Fieldwork
1 Global Hazards 1.11 Hazards fieldwork – UK drought
