5. 8 professional sectors that CILT
operate in…
8 resources

6. 8 fully resourced session plans
• One for each of the 8 sectors…
• “Enquiry approach”
• Making use of GI and digital
mapping
• Connected with the students’ lived
experiences where possible…

7. Vocational element…
• Logistics an area where recruitment is strong,
and which is a growing area of the economy
• Logistics requires a geographical skillset…

8. Ideas by John Lyon
1. From smart phone to my house - how my (Amazon, eBay whatever) product arrives at my house.
How am I able to track my purchase? How is it travelling - plane?
2. My Subway sandwich - where has everything that makes up my sandwich come from, how does it
travel? How is it so cheap? Who is responsible for getting it to me?
3. Going Bananas - tarantulas and bananas??
4. 'Red Bull gives you wings' but does the F1 car fly? And who else makes sure the car is at the starting
line on the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia (or wherever)
5. H&M the fashion clothing manufacturer has defined seven ambitious commitments on sustainability.
What goes into your H&M jumper(?) where does it come from and how do they ensure that it travels
sustainably?
6. Has the petrol in my family car travelled further than the car?
7. The UK is "never more than a few day days away from a significant food shortage" MPs International
Development Committee. What? So where does food our come from, why are we only days away from
empty shelves. Who is responsible for making sure I get my ....fresh fruit, Breakfast cereal, etc. How does
a supermarket keep its shelves full?

9. What is logistics?
Logistics is all about getting things from point A to
point B – safely, securely and on time.

10. Logistics literacy

14. Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner: From fresh fruits to your favorite cereal or brand of pasta,
logistics moves these items from their country of origin to your grocery store shelves.
Electronics: Your favorite video game console, your noise-cancelling headphones, your
laptop – all electronics are made up of small parts produced in factories around the globe.
Logistics gets each microchip, memory card, and console part from its site of production to
the factory where it all gets put together. And then, logistic moves the final product to your
local electronics store.
Healthcare: Without logistics, there’d be no way to get medicine, vaccines and other life-
saving goods where they need to go, on time and in proper condition. In very real ways,
logistics makes the world a better place.
Sports: For every World Cup, Superbowl or Olympic Games, there are millions of logistical
details to handle. Without logistics, there would be no soccer balls at the World Cup, no rings
for Superbowl champions, and no hurdles at the Olympic track.
Mail (the old-fashioned kind): Every time you order a video game, smartphone accessory, or
book, logistics bridges the gap from finding your purchase in the warehouse, to getting it
packaged and shipped, and finally delivering it to your front doorstep.
Entertainment: From building concert stages to filming TV shows and music videos, the
entertainment industry relies on the logistics of transportation, supply and delivery.
Sustainability: Believe it or not, logistics plays a huge role in protecting the environment.
Logisticians are charged with developing better, more efficient and more sustainable ways of
doing business, so that we can enjoy the world economy with the lowest possible
environmental impact.

15. Entertainment: From building concert
stages to filming TV shows and music
videos, the entertainment industry
relies on the logistics of
transportation, supply and delivery.

21. Transport related ideas for
activities….
http://madewithmonsterlove.itch.io/error-prone

22. Transport in the curriculum…
KS1
use basic geographical vocabulary to refer to:
key physical features, including: beach, cliff, coast, forest, hill,
mountain, sea,
ocean, river, soil, valley, vegetation, season and weather
key human features, including: city, town, village, factory, farm,
house, office, port, harbour and shop
use simple compass directions (North, South, East and West)
and locational and directional language [for example, near
and far; left and right], to describe the location of features
and routes on a map

23. Transport in the curriculum…
KS2
describe and understand key aspects of:
human geography, including: types of settlement
and land use, economic activity including trade links,
and the distribution of natural resources including
energy, food, minerals and water

24. Transport in the curriculum…
KS3
Pupils should become aware of increasingly complex
geographical systems in the world around them. They should
develop greater competence in using geographical
knowledge, approaches and concepts [such as models and
theories] and geographical skills in analysing and interpreting
different data sources

25. Transport in the curriculum…
KS3
human geography relating to: population and urbanisation;
international development; economic activity in the primary,
secondary, tertiary and quaternary sectors; and the use of
natural resources
understand how human and physical processes interact to
influence, and change landscapes, environments and the
climate; and how human activity relies on effective
functioning of natural systems
use Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to view, analyse
and interpret places and data

26. Transport Geographies
• Keytown bypass

27. Transport in the curriculum…
GCSE- new specifications
A case study of a city in the UK to include:
How urban change has created opportunities:
• social and economic: cultural mix, recreation and
entertainment, employment, integrated transport systems

congestion.

28. Transport in the curriculum…
GCSE- new specifications
Economic change in the UK:

Causes of economic change: de-industrialisation and decline
of traditional industrial base, globalisation and government
policies

29. Transport in the curriculum…
GCSE- new specifications
Maps:
Maps based on global and other scales may be used and
students may be asked to identify and describe significant
features of the physical and human landscape on them, e.g.
population distribution, population movements, transport
networks, settlement layout, relief and drainage

30. Transport in the curriculum…
‘A’ Level – new specifications
What are the causes of globalisation and why has it accelerated
in recent decades?

issues of housing, transport and service provision, including Broadband
provision
On-going challenges in rural places where regeneration / rebranding are
absent or have failed or have created conflict
New challenges of managing change in some rural communities associated
with counter-urbanisation and second home ownership, and possible actions
2.2.1 Globalisation, migration and a shrinking world
Growth of global systems; connections and global flows of goods,

ideas in a little more detail to
show the process I went through…
and hopefully persuade you to use
the ideas yourself…

occur along the route

49. Taken from the resource

53. Creative outcomes
Rewrite the lyrics to the classic song ‘Route 66’, to set it
in a UK setting… e.g. instead of it “winding from
Chicago to LA, two thousand miles all the way” it will
need to take in the UK context instead
If you ever plan to motor west,
Travel my way, take the highway that's best.
Get your kicks on Route sixty-six.
It winds from Chicago to LA,
More than two thousand miles all the way.
Get your kicks on Route sixty-six.
Now you go through Saint Louis
Joplin, Missouri,
And Oklahoma City is mighty pretty.
You'll see Amarillo,
Gallup, New Mexico,
Flagstaff, Arizona.
Don't forget Winona,
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernandino.
Won't you get hip to this timely tip:
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route sixty-six.

electronically exchanging data with other
nearby ships, AIS base stations, and
satellites
