S3 Geography pupils from Tobermory High School recently braved the cold weather to complete a river study. This involved taking measurements on a local section of river and using calculations to work out the river’s speed. Pupils measured the width of the river, the speed of the river, angle of slope and used Powers’ scale of roundness to examine the bedload. They will now use the raw data they collected out in the field, back in class, to enhance their processing and information handling techniques.
What a great Active Learning experience!
This looks brilliant – active and a bit of risk but a real learning experience. For the reader too – I have never heard Power’s scale of roundness – then I am not a geographer.
Another successful Language and Humanities outing – would just like it noted that I didn’t fall at all this year… Well done S3!
