Summary:
Earthworks 1 is an enquiry-based course book in which varied activities, real life case studies, topics issues, and work on skills, themes and places are moulded together into a course to suit specialist and non-specialist geography teachers alike. The text aims to develop pupils' ability to think geographically through in-depth enquiry and purposeful tasks. The differing needs of pupils for reinforcement and challenge are catered for through differentiation opportunities provided by the TRB and the same author's separately published Geography Special Needs Support Material, which can be used alongside Earthworks.

There are four levels of material in each unit: groundwork, framework, building blocks and extension.
