Goals of last lesson

1. You can explain the relationship between meanders and the flow speed in the Upper Plain
   (W9, W10, G90). 
2. You can explain in 3 steps how an oxbow lake is created (W11, G90).
   
3. You can use a map to show the watershed between two catchment areas (G120).
   
4. You can explain why the flow rate in summer is much lower than in winter (G120).

Today's goals

1. You can link the characteristics flow speed, fall, erosion, sedimentation, to the upper,
   middle and lower reaches of a river (W8).
2. You can explain the origin of the horsts and grabens.
3. You can calculate the fall and gradient between 2 points in a river (G121).
   
4. You can explain the difference in formation between an estuary and a delta, using the
   terms sedimentation and erosion (G90).

G121: Fall and gradient

Fall: The difference in altitude between two points along a river.

Gradient: The fall per kilometre.

Take question 8 in front of you

You can calculate the fall and gradient between 2 points in a river (G121).

FALL & GRADIENT

Let's go!

• Read the text at page 28/29 of your coursebook.
  
• Make exercises 7, 8, 9 + W14 of paragraph 3 in your workbook.
• Read GeoGuide numbers 121.

Rules while working:

• You work alone and in silence.
  
• Raise your finger if you've a question.
  
• Always read the exercise well before you ask your question.

Finished? Open the list of knowledge and skills on your Chromebook and make paragraph 1 till 3.

Homework for next lesson

Finish the questions of paragraph 3.

Repeat and practice for the quiz, so.. prepare questions?
