River flow and erosion
Children will be introduced
to erosion, they will learn
how rivers are full of energy
and this energy causes
erosion which means
sediment is carried and
deposited. They will use
these key terms.




River trip
This session follows session 3 and
looks at how rivers change through
the process of erosion causing rivers
to meander and form ox-bow lakes.
Children will look at maps of their
local river and find evidence on the
map of changing rivers.
Trip to local river-Beult
Changing rivers
Children will go on a trip to a
local river or stream. They will
complete practical tasks such as
measuring the river flow, the
width and depth or the river.
They will also look at plants and
creatures that live there.
