Dartford Technology College


Human and Physical Coastal Erosion

Welcome to this Teachnet UK resource contributed by Diana Pompei
a Geography teacher at Dartford Technology College, Kent



This resource is delivered primarily through PowerPoint and has links to a variety of student activities and relevant websites. It includes many photographs and diagrams produced by the author.

The resource is aimed primarily at key stage 4 but may also be helpful at other key stages. It is designed to aid the teaching of human and physical coastal Geography and costal management. Aspects of the OCR syllabus C can be taught using this resource and it is hoped that it is flexible enough to deliver aspects of other syllabi. Many topics are covered and some are not covered in detail. These can of course be taught using other resources.

The resource contains learning objectives, definitions descriptions of landforms and processes and activities which could be used over approximately 5 lessons. These lessons could stand alone and students could work through them with little or no additional input, or be used as preparation for coastal field work. It is based on the North Kent coast at Reculver and Herne Bay. The place specific information could be used as a case study in its own right and the resource could be used as an example of a how to put a case study together. All the place specific resources and activities can be replicated for another case study or could be used as a comparison. Some of the activities are designed to develop geographical skills such as observation, sketching and labelling.
