L1 - Drainage Basins + Hydrological Cycle

Option A: Freshwater (IBDP)

Syllabus Point: ‘The drainage basin as an open system with inputs, outputs, flows and stores.’

Key Question – ‘What are the basic functions of the hydrological cycle?’

This lesson covers the following themes:

-Open and closed systems
-Drainage basins
-Hydrological cycle (inputs / outputs / transfers / stores)

Ease of use is central to the lesson and all theory is included and simply explained. You should be able to teach it without knowing anything about the subject - I’ve done the reading so you don’t have to. When I teach the lesson, the students complete the Key Concepts before class so they are well versed and we can simply discuss the topics.

It includes a presentation, handout and offline resources, so no broken links. You can also buy this lesson as part of a bundle.

These resources take me hours to pull together so please leave a review if they’ve helped you out in the classroom. Equally, any problems, please let TES know and I’ll try to be of assistance :)

Happy teaching!
