This is the first of a series of really short posts for Year 11 that I’m hoping you’ll find useful for revison.

Syllabus summary for Coasts This sheet outlines the syllabus requirements. You have to find appropriate case studies and diagrams.

Revision web sites:

BBC Bitesize has a section on Coasts with short tests.

S-cool has a nice illustrated section on coasts with short tests and printable revison cards

Flash cards, quizes, games etc:
There are a whole bunch of excellent revision resources created by teacher Rob Chambers at his Geobytes site. This link takes you to his Coasts revision page - find flash cards, quizes and games. There are a couple of games on this page: Penalty Shootout by Rob Chambers and Walk the Plank by C Stubbs
