Year 10 Geography Three Rivers Trip

Year 10 Geography students visited the River Cole in Oxfordshire to investigate differences in the river channel. Students were required to measure the width and depth of the river channel with different sites being compared through the construction of cross sections. The students also measured the current of the river by timing how long it took a dog biscuit to travel a set distance. One student was excited at seeing “my first meander” with others pleased to see geographical theory in action. Many students enjoyed the hot sunny weather and seeing a wide range of wildlife including dragonflies.
