  • Physical systems and processes
  • Risk and resilience
  • Sustainability and climate change

Description

This unit teaches pupils how physical and human processes shape our coastline. Pupils will also learn about the threats and challenges coastlines face in a warming world.

This unit deepens pupils' knowledge of physical processes and demonstrates how they interact with the human environment. Pupils will gain insight into how humans cope with risk and how they can build their resilience in both sustainable and unsustainable ways. Focussing on coasts at this stage in the curriculum gives the opportunity for pupils to develop their locational knowledge of the UK and deepen their understanding of how the UK has been shaped by its maritime position.
