Pop-up river drainage basin

This excellent idea of labelling a pop-up drainage basin is a great way of bringing the topic alive. The children have to label 8 parts on the drainage basin and it can be completed in class or as homework. 

Top teaching tip - make 3 or 4  of these drainage basins and stick them together to make an island which could be part of a display in the classroom plus a useful cheap tool for explaining what watersheds are.

Lesson idea - Make a 3D river erosion model

Seeing how rivers shape the land is much easier to see when you can watch it eroding in real time. These models, whilst expensive, about £300, are worth it for the effective learning they produce.

We like this model of a river system because it has neatly labelled features on it and it has the opportunity to combine knowledge of showing heights on maps using layer shading. It has been produced by the pupils at Kellett Secondary school and we say good job guys.

    Great on a ChromeBook.

    Technology has been widely adopted in schools but the provision of teaching resources available to make full use of these resources has failed to keep up. We aim to create a wide range of teaching materials that support the teaching and learning of geography in the classrooms with the use of technology.
