Drainage Basins and the Water Cycle | IGCSE Geography | PowerPoint and Word

Rivers Unit: Drainage Basins, Landforms and Klang Case Studies | IGCSE Geography

**Teach a connected Rivers unit that links drainage basins and channel measurements with river processes, landforms and the choices people make beside rivers.** The nine modules move from the water cycle and drainage basin system to two detailed examples on flooding and pollution in Malaysia’s Klang River valley. The case studies supply the place background, maps, photographs and evidence students need to apply the general geography. **Modules included** - Drainage Basins and the Water Cycle - River Channels and the Bradshaw Model - River Processes: Erosion, Transport and Deposition - Upper Course River Landforms: Waterfalls and Gorges - Meanders and Ox-bow Lakes - Floodplains, Levees and Deltas - Living with Rivers: Opportunities and Flood Risk - River Flooding on the Klang: Malaysia Case Study - Klang River Pollution and the River of Life **Teaching routes and materials** Each module has a Full Lesson PowerPoint presentation, a separate Essentials presentation and matching Word student materials. The Full Lesson route includes deeper explanations, geographical skills, questions and a collaborative lesson; Essentials gives teachers a more focused route through the core content. Colour tags and saved custom shows support choices within the main presentation. Every module includes colour, black and white and typed-answer Student Workbook options, complete and notes Essentials Booklets, exam practice, a mark scheme and a mini assessment. The collaborative lessons have their own presentations and supporting student and teacher materials. Module 1 uses one shared A3 worksheet for the team; the other activities retain their own group or class materials. Students follow two raindrops through contrasting surfaces, compile a field notebook, teach river processes, act out waterfall formation and create a meander flip book. Later tasks ask them to write a delta recipe, advertise a riverside property honestly, report on the Klang floods and assess the River of Life programme. The different tasks give students reasons to explain processes, use evidence and revise their decisions. Designed for Cambridge IGCSE Geography (0460), generally ages 14 to 16.
