Presentation Transcript

  1. Upper KS2Geography Rocks & flooding

  2. Can you remember? What happened when the viaduct collapsed in 1848? How are things turned to stone? What is a stream? What does the weir do? How long does it take to petrify a teddy?

  3. Energy Play me What types of renewable energy was the Earthship house using to sustain itself?

  4. Energy What type of renewable energy did the weir provide? Electricity is generated in the same way by both renewable and non-renewable sources of energy. They all contain a turbine which, when turned, turns a generator and generates electricity.

  5. Energy Task: To create your own water wheel! https://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Water-Wheel https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/eco-water-wheel/zhvnrj6 https://www.clearwaycommunitysolar.com/blog/science-center-home-experiments-for-kids/how-to-make-a-water-wheel-experiment-for-students/

  6. Flooding Play me • What is a flash flood? • Why are they particularly dangerous? Effects of flooding...

  7. Flooding at Mother Shipton’s Cave...

  8. Flooding... • Task: To design your own flooding prevention method to use to prevent flooding of the Petrifying Well platform and houses along the river Nidd. • Think about: • -What materials you would use • -Size and shape • Potential cost • Time it would take to put up/ put in place in the event of a flood

  9. Flooding... Let’s share our ideas...

  10. Possible extension activities: • Make a guided tour booklet of the park • Study flooding- causes, preventions and the effects they have • Study rivers- measure the height, width, depth and speed at different points along it’s course • Conduct a survey questioning people on places they like to visit • Study how caves are formed • Look more at renewable and non-renewable energy • Look at other geographical phenomena's around the world
