Boston Spa Geography GCSE Revision workshop 1: Physical World, Wednesday 25th April, 3.35-4.50. Teacher...... Mrs J! Might explain the number of posts! Hope to see you there.

Rivers: The movie!

A few movie & stills images with some key questions/ tasks

Rivers- Whatever your learning style!

Some useful stuff to help you revise rivers. Start with either the Powerpoint or the movie.

Glaciation Powerpoint to view!

An icy world? Revise Glaciation

The specification states:
The characteristics of valleys can be changed by glaciation.
The build up of ice and the formation of corries.
The changes to the river valley characteristics: U-shaped valleys, truncated spurs, hanging valleys, ribbon lakes, moraines, pyramidal peaks.
Students are not expected to know about ice ages or the processes involved in ice formation beyond the build up and compaction of snow. Knowledge of case studies will not be required in the exam.
Students are expected to be able to describe the landforms specified, and explain their formation in terms of the processes involved. They should be able to construct annotated diagrams of the landforms and recognise the landforms specified on OS maps and in photographs.

View the Glaciation Revision Powerpoint to 'traffic light' your knowledge & understanding.

What coastal processes are at work here?

Physical World

The next theme for revision in lessons is 'Physical World' -Ice, Rivers & Coasts. Wednesday also sees the first after school Geography GCSE Revision session. The theme for this is also 'Physical World'. I am leading this session & I will plan the two sessions to complement each other but not repeat each other. Attend both for the best of worlds! All material will be linked in the blog. Hopefully my first attempts to upload videos to Youtube will work by then!

Meander formation?
