This lesson is part of Investigating Rivers, a unit designed for upper KS2 (Y4-6).
It introduces many key river concepts and a wide range of related vocabulary. First the presentation recaps the main processes of the water cycle. It then introduces some of the well known features of river systems (e.g. waterfalls and lakes). There are two activities:
Group Activity:
Students are challenged to match eight features of river systems to photos, satellite images and maps. This activity can easily be differentiated by giving groups different numbers of cards.
Individual Activity:
In the worksheet activity students identify the same features on a simplified drawing of a river system. It is differentiated two ways:
Easier – Students identify river features and complete cloze procedure definitions.
Harder – Students identify river features and write their own definitions of four river features.

This lesson is part of Investigating Rivers, a unit designed for upper KS2 (Y4-6).
The presentation takes students on a journey from the source to the mouth of the River Thames. Starting at Thames Head, the source of the River Thames, students investigate maps and satellite photos and try to identify river features along the way. Other locations include Windsor Castle, the Isle of Dogs in London and the mouth of the river at Southend-on-Sea.
The writing-based activity challenges students to first label each map/satellite photo and then write a paragraph describing the location and river features they can see. It is differentiated two ways:
Easier – Students have maps/satellite photos and cloze procedure paragraphs to complete.
Harder – Students have maps/satellite photos, a wordbank and write their own paragraphs.

This activity looks at the location of famous volcanoes with the pupils having to locate them on a map using their lines of latitude and longitude. It is a colourful, child-friendly design. We did it in A4 which worked well although I can see how A3 would work well too.
This is a workbook designed to meet part of the criteria for the AQA Entry Level Geography Rivers Unit - I think it includes everything but Flooding and Flood management and the case study.
Some of the activities have been adapted from other worksheets
Worksheet with simple categorising task, plus GCSE-style 4-mark question with writing frame / help and example (tourists visiting hot springs in Iceland).
