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.

Natural Hazards Bundle | 3 Investigations

hree ready-to-use natural hazards investigations for ages 14–16, covering earthquakes, volcanoes and flooding with complete classroom materials. This Dig Earth Studio bundle brings together three structured investigations that allow students to explore natural hazards through live data, interactive modelling and evidence-based reasoning. Included in the bundle: Earthquakes | Live Data Investigation Students analyse current global earthquake data, identify seismic patterns, investigate earthquake depth and explore relationships with plate boundaries. Volcano Investigation Students change volcanic conditions, make predictions and investigate how factors such as magma properties and gas escape influence volcanic behaviour. Flood Resilience Investigation Students investigate runoff, hydrographs and flood-management strategies by changing landscape conditions and comparing model outcomes. Across the three investigations, students: - make predictions - collect or analyse evidence - recognise patterns - compare scenarios - explain cause-and-effect relationships - evaluate simplified models and data Each resource includes structured student activities together with answer materials and teacher guidance. The Dig Earth Studio online tools run in a browser with no login required. Suitable for secondary Geography, Earth Science and general science, particularly around ages 14–16. The online interactives are free to access. This bundle provides the complete classroom investigations and supporting materials needed to turn them into structured lessons. Buying the bundle offers a lower-cost way to access all three investigations than purchasing them separately.
