Conclusion and Evaluation to write-up.

• Year 10 coursework.

2
Key objectives

• To understand the main focus of the key
  question
• To complete the last section of the coursework

How do the processes of erosion, transportation
and deposition change downstream in Carding Mill
Valley?
This is your KEY QUESTION, and should form the
central point to your conclusion.
For each key term you need to write a paragraph
about how it has worked in your project related
to. Carding Mill Valley River theory
Is there a CHANGE in the type of processes that
you see as you move from upper site 1 to
Stretford Ford?

How do the processes of erosion, transportation
and deposition change downstream in Carding Mill
Valley?
Is there a change in the type of processes that
you see as you move from upper site 1 to
Stretford Ford?
480m
Should we see a great change between the Upper
Site 1 and Stretford Ford (8miles)since they are
both in the Upper Course of the river (320 miles
long)?
0m sea level
320 miles
Objective To understand the main focus of the
key question

Key terms Terminology needed CMV results River theory
Erosion Lateral, vertical, attrition, corrasion, hydraulic action how do these change downstream? Use the cross section and valley results to prove this Do your results match up to river theory? Use your long profile diagram to help you.
You need to bring these factors all together to
help show how erosion changes in CMV
Objective To understand the main focus of the
key question
6
Thinking matrix...
Key terms Terminology needed CMV results River theory
Transportation Traction, saltation, suspension, solution Do these processes change downstream? Use the velocity, bedload and water height results to prove this Do your results match up to river theory? Use your long profile diagram to help you.
You need to bring these factors all together to
help show how transportation changes in CMV
Objective To understand the main focus of the
key question

Key terms Terminology needed CMV results River theory
Deposition Is there any evidence of this? Why not much evidence? Which part of river can you see this in? Do your results match up to river theory? Use your long profile diagram to help you.
You need to bring these factors all together to
help show how deposition changes in CMV

Transportation What processes operate in the different parts of the stream? Traction, saltation, suspension, solution Do these processes change downstream? Use the velocity, bedload and water height results to prove this Do your results match up to river theory? Use your long profile diagram to help you.
Deposition Is there any evidence of this? Why not much evidence? Which part of river can you see this in?

Evaluation....
S.W.O.T.
Strengths
What went well? How did the weather play its
part? The validity of results?
Weaknesses
Equipment difficulties? Timings? Gathering of
results? Only went to Upper Course!!
Opportunities
How could we improve the results? Multiple
visits here? Comparative data?
Threats
Validity of results? The weather?
