Rivers 2 - River Features & Processes Part 1 - GCSE (2016)

This is a full 1 hour GCSE lesson that investigates a variety of river features and how they are formed. The lesson is part of a unit covering 'Topic 3: Why is there a variety of river landscapes in the UK and what are the processes that shape them?' on the new Ed-Excel B spec, though it could easily be adapted to other specifications or graded down for KS3.

This is part 1 of 2 - an enquiry lesson, the second lesson is a consolidation lesson. Both lessons are equal in terms of quality and content, however these processes are vital at GCSE so the second lesson is more guided to ensure the knowledge is secure after completing the enquiry.

Aim:- 'To understand that rivers have a range of features and these are formed through erosional and depostional processes.'

This lesson covers the following themes:

- River features
- Erosion and deposition
- The role of geology in river formations

Ease of use is the aim, so the lesson includes a compact presentation with instructions and guidance in the notes section below each slide, it also includes referenced handouts with printing instructions and is of course, proof read.

Please feel free to leave a review :)

Happy teaching!
