Geography Of Health: Does Where We live Impact Physical Fitness? (Unit Of Work)

This Unit Of Work helps students to define ‘food deserts’ and outline research which has attempted to identify these within the United Kingdom. They will be able to explain how the location of food outlets within the United Kingdom and America influence the geography of affordable health food baskets and identify what is meant by ‘obesogenic environments.’ In addition, they will be able to establish whether the physical environment has an impact to exercise and whether there is a link between social deprivation and fast-food availability.

A range of individual and group activities are incorporated within this booklet for students including; drawing and explaining their thoughts and ideas, drawing maps and graphs and interpreting all of these.
