#nationalgeography working on the formation of glacial landscapes.
Using our 3D models and playdoh the first step was to recreate a glacial landscape and compare this to modern day glacial locations. Explaining how the landscapes form is the next step #geographyteacher #glacier

Working with S1 building their understanding of features of glacial erosion through modelling using #playdoh.
I explained the etymology behind the features. We used the Gaelic “sron”meaning “nose” to look at arêtes. They used our 3D OS tiles to feel for arêtes and then feel their nose.

Some old fashioned flick book approach with the #nationalgeography who were looking at developments on the urban fringe. Armed with a photo of the south gyle area of Edinburgh they compared this to a modern day image and identified the changes, evaluating +/- factors. #geochat #geographyteacher

There is almost no chance now of saving the Greenland Ice Sheet, nor the West Antarctic Ice Sheet for that matter
This locks-in a ~12m sea level rise, which will eventually drown every coastal town and city

Temperatures at north pole 20C above average and beyond ice melting point
Scientists say unusually mild temperatures linked to low-pressure system over Iceland directing strong flow of warm air towards north pole

Building teamwork / sense of empathy with S2 Geographers as they began to examine the issues garment workers face. This week we looked at the issues of pay and began to get a sense of the scale of the issues garment workers face in meeting a minimum living standard.

Before feedback was given, this was my initial reading of a scaffolded meander response from S3 and pitched at N5.
The next step after this is to look at ox-bows and repeat but without the scaffold.

Scaffolding / sequencing in the S3 BGE.
After securing knowledge of erosion processes + characteristics within a meander (ie why they meander, what processes occurs). I gave them sequenced information to sort. We reviewed and wrote up using N5 criteria, prepping for S4.
