Task Statement: How natural is the stretch of your chosen stream/river?
In a natural state, rivers are dynamic systems, continually modifying their form. Rivers can be diverted, managed and interpreted.
One of the many reasons we study rivers is because the more we understand the river system, the more we understand why and how floods occur. We can use this information to adjust features of a river and prevent floods from doing great damage.
The River Tillingbourne:
- Leith Hill (294m above sea level)
- Wolton Common (246m a.s.l) TQ 143437
- 19km long
- Joins up to the River Wey at Shalford, south of Guildford (34m a.s.l) River Wey meets up with the Thames at Weybridge. The mouth of the River Thames is the North Sea.
Sampling Techniques:
What is a sample?
A representative part of a whole
Why sample?
Sampling doesn't take long and neither do we usually have enough time or money to test everything. Testing everything is not necessary. Types of sampling include random sampling, stratified sampling and systematic sampling.
The Coursework Explained.
1. Setting the scene
2. Methods of data collection
3. Data presentation + Analysis
4. Evaluation + Conclusion
Below are videos that talk you through the entire coursework. This talk was from the trip that OCR students were on.
