Coastal homework for 8B at Mulberry School for Girls.

Follow the links to some activities that you will find helpful as a follow up to today's lesson. I would like to see evidence that you have visited my site and tried to improve the knowledge that you gained in the lesson. Remember the key words we used today were: stack, stump, arch, headland, bays, beach, cave, erosion, deposition, transportation, industry, abrasion, corrosion, hydraulic action, attrition.

Red homework - What am I looking for? I would like to see the erosion key words (erosion, corrosion, hydralic action, attrition), written in your books, show me that you have tried to remember them (drawings might help). You should try to learn how to spell them and what they mean. These animations might help you.

Need some more help? Click here for some definitions (look at the bottom of the page).
Ready for more? Try this for a matching the key words exercise (it is timed, so try to work it out before you begin).

Orange homework - What am I looking for? I would like to see at least 5 of the key words written in your books with the definitions. These animations will help. Here is a reminder of what some of them mean (look at the bottom of the page).
I would also like you to draw a labelled diagram to show how headlands are eroded. Need some help? Then try here for some ideas.

Green homework - what am I looking for? I would like to see a labelled diagram to show how headlands are eroded. Try to use the key words (there is an actvity here). Here is a page that will give you some ideas of what to include.
Ready for more? Why not watch the podcast of erosional landforms and write down 4 things you learn.
