CD - Focus on River Studies Overview

Price:Licences start from £29.95
excluding VAT

Description:This is a new, fully interactive program designed for the study of rivers at GCSE level and beyond, incorporating both theoretical and practical applications.

Structured to enable students to carry out virtual fieldwork on a ten kilometre stretch of river, the River Studies package is divided into four main units:

Age Range(s): Program 1: Virtual River Flow

Virtual River Flow enables students to carry out virtual fieldwork and gather a wide range of primary data without leaving the classroom. On-screen help gives a detailed step-by-step guide to practical techniques and methods of data collection

Program 2: River Flow Analysis River Flow Analysis enables students to input and process primary information recorded from their own field-studies.

This second part of the River Studies package provides all the tools necessary to produce printable in-depth analyses of actual geographical sites, allowing students to observe the direct correlation between the physical properties of river sections and the resultant flow patterns. Program 3: Bedload Simulation This program allows the study of bedload characteristics over the 10km stretch of the virtual river. Random samples of either large calibre (pebbles) or small calibre (sediment) bedload can be taken at any point along its course.

Pebbles are assessed in terms of size, shape, sphericity and flatness, whilst the finer sediment is sieved to determine the degree of sorting. Program 4: Bedload Analysis This is the sister program to River Flow Analysis and allows students to present and analyse original data from their own fieldwork. Selecting 'pebble sizes' or 'sieve data' from the main menu allows access to two different spreadsheets for data entry.

A wide range of print options allow students to produce professional summaries and analysis of their data for inclusion in coursework folders.
