Coasts

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Coasts lesson plan also includes:
  • Project
  • Join to access all included materials

Youngsters study the variety of ways that coastlines can be eroded. They do this by accessing a website, embedded in the plan, and answering questions found on the pages. This activity is meant to be done individually, so everyone in the class will need to have their own computer to work with. The lesson could be easily modified into a whole-group activity as well. The website they access is quite good, and pupils should learn quite a bit about coastal erosion.
