This is an activity where students listen to a 9-minute podcast on the basics of river morphology and then examine 5 world rivers using Google Maps or Google Earth.
Students are asked to write down their observations of each of the rivers, draw a small sketch of the main features and then ask meaningful questions that they would ask to learn more about each of the rivers.
This is a great way to start off a unit on rivers – it can be set as a remote task, home study or done in class.
Full answers are provided in the Teachers Guide which is available for members.
