KS3 Coasts - Coast Management AND Hard & Soft Engineering

A lesson or double lesson for the topic of Coasts. Ideal for Years 7 to 9. Previously taught by myself in a 1hr lesson for high ability but over 2hrs to low ability. This lesson can be taught over either 1 or 2 hrs based on the ability of the class and how you choose to teach it. Pupils will be introduced to options around managing the coast (do nothing, hold the line etc) before producing an information table about 6 methods of engineering, using the information sheets provided (3 hard, 3 soft). The final activity will see the pupils write a letter, using their information table for guidance, stating why they will defend Marine Point in New Brighton (or you can substitute the image for this for any other built up coastal location depending on where your school is).
