This resource from The Canal & River Trust will help pupils discover the features of a river, find out why they are important, what they are used for, who looks after them and what happens when rivers flood.
Students will learn:
- Where rivers come from
- How rivers shape the landscape
- Why rivers are different to canals
- Why rivers are important
- Who looks after rivers
