Coastineers Learning resources combine science, engineering, geology and geography KS3 learning and GCSE principles.
We are passionate about the coast and coastal management, specialising in interactive geography practicals and demonstrations. We know not all students can get to the coast so our resources aim to take the coast to them! Find us on Twitter: @coastineer and @gcseasider.

This STEM lesson plan combines science, engineering and geography KS3 learning and GCSE principles. The purpose of the lesson is to introduce students to coastal flooding. In particular, to gain an understanding of tides, waves and tidal or storm surges. This lesson introduces coastal flooding and the processes which lead to flooding, including a practical demonstration, as well as exploring flood warning and monitoring. The Coastineers have been working on the coast for a combined 30 years as engineers and scientists, and we hope you enjoy this lesson.
This lesson plan is accompanied by a tidal surge model demonstration. You can make this yourself using our Coastineers Tidal Surge Model - Build Your Own! booklet or watch the demonstration on our YouTube channel (link included below).
In addition the Coastineers Wave Tank demonstration on our YouTube Channel is also useful for this lesson (link included below).
