I created this revision guide in response to some of my less able students so that we can go through it together and as an additional resource during lesson time. This is very much useful to use in lessons in general or as a homework booklet for students.

In addition students will think about risks for two different types of investigation (river and urban) and how they can be overcome. Once students have worked through the technical stuff they will be given investigations with the hypothesis, equipment and methods use. Students will critically analyse the investigations with prompts given to guide students answers.
