Climate Change causing worlds rivers to dry out...

This article in the Guardian is of interest at the moment, especially since i have just spent the last two weeks writing a scheme of learning on Rivers! It's a start for the new OCR B GCSE specification (now on the OCR B GCSE Ning).

Some of the most important rivers on the planet, including the Ganges, the Niger, and the Yellow river in China, are drying up because of climate change, according to this article.

The map below shows the change in run-off inferred from streamflow records worldwide between 1948 and 2004, with bluish colors indicating more streamflow and reddish colors less. Graphic: Journal of Climate, modified by UCAR.

Year 11- Revise Geog on your phone!

This folder contains a GCSE Coasts Revision Quiz - ten simple multiple choice questions, in the form of .jpegs. This folder contains a GCSE Population Revision Quiz. I have just blatantly stolen this resource from another teacher, Victoria Ellis. Thank you! ;)

This folder contains one on rivers that i produced today.

The idea is that you download the pictures to your mobile, and then view them in slideshow mode on your phone. You can then revise Geography whenever you like.

There are various ways of getting the pictures to your phones. I managed to download them by connecting two devices via bluetooth (transfering them from my netbook to my phone).
