Lovely idea here from Tony Cassidy to help Higher and Int 2 when we eventually get to this point. Thought I'd put itin before I forget!

Look at the excellent photos on the guardian here to show this process and read about what is proposed for the future here – very controversial!

Global Warming worse than Stern report said.
Listen to the podcast here on this as a bit of S4 revision and good for everyone else too or you can read the article here.

Higher, S grade revision

Some good animations here for revision of S grade river features. (Ignore all the rest S4 as your course is different. Highers / Int 2 - Look at the rivers and coast links and Higher only - use the Atmosphere links too. Plenty to keep you out of those Kirkmichael parties!

This one is good too although again a slightly different syllabus to ours.

A reminder also of S-cool here and the English GSCE Bitesize site as well as the Standard Grade and Higher Bitesize sites for Scotland. Use them all folks!

Coastal Erosion

A fellow Geography teacher in England has a lot of Stuff on coastal erosion on his blog here
http://geobytesgcse.blogspot.com/2007/08/coastal-erosion-landforms-features-and.html
including a podcast and a few videos. This is a lot more than you need in S1 but you should look at some of the movies at least and check out some of the links. Make sure you also explore the coastal deposition link on the right with the animations to help you eg this one on longshore drift and this one on the formation of a spit.
