I teach IGCSE Geography at an international school in Southeast Asia. River processes was one of my best-selling lessons, and it is the foundation everything downstream depends on, so I rebuilt it from scratch for 2026 with each process retaught one at a time, the diagrams redrawn, and a fresh case study from real recent events. If you bought the original, the update is free, just re-download.
A complete, ready-to-teach lesson answering one big question: how does a river turn jagged mountain rock into smooth seaside sand?
What’s in it:
- Full PowerPoint presentation, with answers included throughout
- Student workbook in three versions: full colour, printer-friendly black and white, and a ready-to-print PDF
- A 30-question Blooket quiz file for instant retrieval practice
- Bonus access to free lesson-support activities and daily games on the Geography Oasis website
What students learn:
- The big three river processes: erosion, transportation and deposition
- The four types of erosion: hydraulic action, attrition, abrasion and solution
- The difference between lateral and vertical erosion
- The four ways a river carries its load
- When and why a river deposits its load, in size order
- How to read the Hjulstrom curve and predict the process at each point
Every figure has been checked and refreshed for 2026. Also suitable for AP Human Geography, World Geography, and any rivers, water and rivers or physical geography unit at ages 11-16.
Format:
Delivered as fully editable PowerPoint (.pptx) and Word (.docx) files, plus PDF. Diagrams and visuals are not editable.
TEACHING CAMBRIDGE IGCSE GEOGRAPHY (0460)?
I have also rebuilt complete units for the 2027 syllabus - Population & Migration, Development, Climate Change and Plate Tectonics - each with lesson slides, student workbooks, full answer keys and bonus interactive website access, and each with its own free sample. Find them in my store.
This is one of a growing collection of fully rebuilt 2026 geography lessons; more are on the way in my shop.
