Conclusion and Evaluation to write-up.

Year 10 coursework.

Key objectives…

• To understand the main focus of the key question

• To complete the last section of the coursework

How do the processes of erosion, transportation and deposition change downstream in Carding Mill Valley?

This is your KEY QUESTION, and should form the central point to your conclusion.

For each key term you need to write a paragraph about how it has worked in your project related to….

Carding Mill Valley

River theory

Is there a CHANGE in the type of processes that you see as

you move from upper site 1 to Stretford Ford?

How do the processes of erosion, transportation and deposition change downstream in Carding Mill Valley?

Objective: To understand the main focus of the key question

Is there a change in the type of processes that you see as

you move from upper site 1 to Stretford Ford?480m

0m sea level

Should we see a great change between the Upper Site 1 and Stretford Ford (8miles)since they are both in the Upper Course of the river (320 miles long)?

320 miles

Key terms… Terminology needed

CMV results River theory

Erosion Lateral, vertical, attrition, corrasion, hydraulic action– how do these change downstream?

Use the cross section and valley results to prove this

Do your results match up to river theory? Use your long profile diagram to help you.

Objective: To understand the main focus of the key question

You need to bring these factors all together to help show how erosion changes in CMV

Key terms… Terminology needed

CMV results River theory

Transportation Traction, saltation, suspension, solution Do these processes change downstream?

Use the velocity, bedload and water height results to prove this

Do your results match up to river theory? Use your long profile diagram to help you.

Objective: To understand the main focus of the key question

You need to bring these factors all together to help show how transportation changes in CMV

Key terms… Terminology needed

CMV results River theory

Deposition Is there any evidence of this? Why not much evidence? Which part of river can you see this in?

Do your results match up to river theory? Use your long profile diagram to help you.

Objective: To complete the last section of the coursework

linkages

You could create a conclusion river diagram

The main changes that have occurred through the sites

Validity of results? The weather?

S.W.O.T.

Strengths…What went well? How did the weather play its part? The validity of results?

Weaknesses…

Opportunities…

Threats…

Equipment difficulties? Timings? Gathering of results? Only went to Upper Course!!

How could we improve the results? Multiple visits here? Comparative data?
