Find & Share

Your task for Easter is to find a good resource on something we have looked at this year. It could be an online article or report, video, diagram..... It could be on challenges for the planet, rivers or coasts, up to you. I want you to find the resource and post the link as a comment below.

I then want you to watch/read 3 other posts and comment underneath with a comment of why you thought it was useful.

So... find and share 1 resource, comment on 3 from other people.

      I found this article rather interesting as it showed that flooding can still happen easily even with the toughest defensive mechanisms. It gave me some extra information I could add about the Thames flood barrier not being able to support floods anymore and could really help if I were to explain about the Thames barrier in an exam question. I will give this article a 9/10.

      I found this BBC news article useful. It explained why a new Thames Barrier was needed to be built and that the likelihood of a flood is 2 times more likely then in the past. It gave me more information about the River Thames which would be very helpful in an exam situation. Also, the presentation near the bottom was very informative and showed how the Thames barrier works. Overall, the article was very good.

      It was an ok video but there was lots of unnecessary information which filled up about 4 minutes of the video, rather than explain to me quickly how fossil fuels affect our planet it spent most of the time telling me how we used fossil fuels in WW1 and how it helped make the first car ETC:
      I would give this video a 6/10 as it had some useful information but a lot of it was unnecessary for what I was researching.

      I thought this video was good as it describes how fossil fuels have had an impact social, environmental and economic factors over a long period of time. Some points in this video I found unnecessary but overall I liked it and found it very descriptive.

      I thought this video was good as it included a high amount of detail and had many geographical terms. It was easy to follow and had many facts about coastal erosion in England throughout, however in some parts of the video I found it repetitive and boring.

      I found this video informative however it was not presented in a way I found easy to remember or in a way I felt I could process in my mind, I would have to watch it several times and make notes before I felt I could say this resource was useful.

      This video was very good as it told us the ways in which the coastline changes shape. There is a lot of information in the video however some parts felt boring and slightly repetitive.

    I found this video very useful as it explained what longshore drift was and what happens during longshore drift. It also explains how it can be prevented. Overall the video was very simple and was a great tool

      An informative resource that explained only what needed to be explained and didn't go into any complicated elaborations. It also showed what prevention methods could be used against longshore drift, which was a useful side note.

      This was a very useful source because it had a lot of clear and well laid out information. On the other hand, it seemed very overloaded on one page so it could have been set out in a few different web pages.

      I found this video fairly useful because not only did it explain long shore drift, it also gave an example of a way of reducing it's effects. The second half of the video I found less useful, it started to go into a case study but there wasn't enough detail for it to be useful.

    2. harryshipton14 April 2013 at 05:08

      This video was good because it explained the method of long shore drift and it also gave some ways we can reduce it's effects. Even though the song wasn't specific to long shore drift it did help me understand the topic as a whole.

      I found the video useful as it explained what longshore drift is and ways we can reduce it's effects. The case study of Mappleton was a good example of longshore drift and the ways we can reduce it's effects.
