Powerpoint looking at the skill of constructing cross-sections from contour lines
Starter: recap of the formation of v-shaped valleys (including video link)
Main activities: step-by-step slides taking pupils through how to construct a labelled cross-section of the Upper Stage of the River Tay
Analysis of a photo of the Middle Stage of the River Tay to compare human and physical features and then to compare those with a photo of the Upper Stage
Pupils then construct their own cross-section of the Middle Stage
Differentiated questions comparing the cross-sections of the three river stages (the Upper Stage is already completed for them)
Plenary: pupils have to look for clues in photos of a completely different river (the Wisla in Poland) to decide in which stages they were taken
