Ready-to-use flood investigation for ages 14–16, with student activity pack, answer key and teacher guide, using a free interactive model.
Students use the Dig Earth Studio Flood Resilience Lab to investigate how land use and flood-management measures affect runoff, peak discharge and flood response.
They change conditions in the model, compare hydrographs, record results and use evidence from their experiments to recommend ways of reducing flood risk.
Included in the download:
- Student Activity Pack
- Answer Key
- Teacher Guide
- Link to the free browser-based Flood Resilience Lab
Students investigate: - how urbanisation and vegetation affect runoff
- changes in peak discharge and time to peak
- the effects of flood-management measures
- trade-offs between different approaches to flood resilience
- how simplified models can be used to explore real hydrological processes
The interactive runs in a web browser with no login required. Students can quickly change variables and compare scenarios without needing specialist software.
Suitable for secondary Geography, Environmental Science and Earth Science, particularly around ages 14–16.
The online Flood Resilience Lab itself is free to use. This resource provides the structured investigation, recording activities, questions, answers and teacher guidance needed to use it as a complete classroom activity.
