Why this why now
Pupils can build on their previous knowledge of the UK's physical geography and geology by focusing on processes and landforms at the coast. Pupils can also make comparisons with river landscapes, studied in the previous unit. Knowledge from this unit will support the fieldwork unit.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils have a basic understanding of coastal processes and landforms from KS3
- Pupils understand the principles of erosion, transportation and deposition
- Pupils have an understanding of landscape
- Pupils know the basic principles of how geology impacts on landscape
- Pupils can use OS maps to describe, analyse and infer
- Pupils can use aerial and ground photos in association with OS maps
- Pupils have an understanding of the need for coastal management
- Pupils understand the issues associated with flooding and why it is considered a hazard
