River flooding and management issues
Use video from BBC Bitesize on causes and effects of river floods as well as management strategies (hard and soft engineering). Can you think of any more causes, effects or management strategies than what's mentioned? And are you able to think of case studies where these can be applied?

River Processes
Watch the video below to revise how rivers change the landscape as you travel from the source to the mouth...
Forming the Grand Canyon...
I was asked recently how the Grand Canyon was formed and I didn't know the answer. So I looked it up. An interesting watch...
