KS3 Geography cover lesson: Why do rivers flood?

This resource is made up of one page that can be printed, laminated and used in pairs.
It has been created to be used for any KS3 class (I personally use it for my Year 7 and 8 classes).
It requires no additional prior knowledge from students.
In the lesson, students simply need to read the extract and can then choose which tasks they would like to complete.

This resource focuses on why rivers flood, rather than the impacts.
This gives a basic overview and serves as an introduction to river flooding.

There are:

Maths questions
Comprehension questions
Think big questions e.g. opinion based
Creativity questions e.g. poster work
