There are different ways we can find out about places.
We can look at pictures of places, we can ask people who live in a place to tell us some information, we can look at maps or we can travel to a place and see for ourselves.
What types of Evidence can we look at?
Evidence can be pictures, maps, descriptions, video or audio.
Let's look at pictures.

How good a detective are you? What can you tell about a place from examining pictures?
The Evidence
Evidence 1
- Where would you think this place is?

- What work do you think people do here?
- What leisure activities might people have here?
- What would you like to know about this place?
