Upper Course River Features - (KS4 - Key Stage 4) (GCSE)

River Landscapes in the UK - (KS4 - Key Stage 4) (GCSE)

An AQA specification topic for KS4 in geography about river landscapes in the UK. Covering aspects such as erosion, transportation, deposition and features formed from these Throughout the series of lessons students will be able to accurately describe how and why a river changes from source to mouth, with references to features on each course along with the erosional, depositional and transportations reasons for each formation. Students will then identify what causes flooding to happen, identifying features of a hydrograph and what natural and human factors cause flooding. Finally students will look at a case study about how management strategies are used to minimise the effects of flooding. With a specific case study at a management strategy used.
