S5 Homework

HYDROSPHERE HOMEWORK - is due in on Tuesday the 5th (the same day as our fieldwork). Remember when answering Q2 you have to think about why erosion changes from mainly vertical to vertical and lateral as you move down stream and why erosion changes from mainly hydraulic action and abrasion to abrasion, attrition and corrosion further down stream.

HINTS: Think about volume of water, speed, gradient of valley and river flow.

S2 - Rich world poor world

Here are the links that we used in class if you would like to view them at home.

Slideshare - A new first

I am trialling something new here. I have uploaded an old powerpoint onto slideshare, it is a s4 revision powerpoint on Farming. If this is successful, I will be able to upload more powerpoints so you can view what has been taught in class at home.

Please let me know if this has been sucessful or if you like the idea.

Nice weather - for how long?

As S4 have started studying weather it is nice to see that it is trying to be nice to us at least. Here is the synoptic chart for Tuesday - see if you can work out what the weather will be like in Aberdeen for then and Wednesday. If you want to see all the charts for the next 5 days click on:

Congratulations on Your Results

Well done!! You have had time to digest your results by now and the majority of you should be very proud of yourselves - looks like some of you managed to work really hard for the main exam.

I will see the new Higher class on Tuesday the 21st (double Geography first day back - what more could you ask for), but for the old highers, pop up to say high so you can bask in your glory (and get one last ever gold star!).

Miss Irvine, Miss MacLeod and myself are very proud of all the Geographers of 2006/7.

PS - Higher class - don't forget that migration homework is due in, read the questions carefully and remember to include the case studies covered in class (China, Morrocco to Spain and Sudan).

Results!!

Results day for is getting closer for all the Standard Grade and Higher Students of 2006/7. Good luck to you all, remember to give yourself a huge pat on the back for doing well but if all does not go as you hoped try not to stress if you don't get what you wanted.
I won't be in Aberdeen this week but will be in school the week before we go back after the holidays. There is no rush for appeals as the exam board won't take any paper work before we go back so don't panic and try to enjoy the rest of your holidays.

See you all in two weeks - Mrs S.
