Riverbed and Riparian Area
- Students should collect photographs of different rivers and bring them to school.
- Ask them first to separate pictures that represent the natural form of a riverbed from pictures that represent modified rivers.
- Ask students to line photos according to the section (upper/middle/lower) of a river they represent. They can help themselves with worksheets.
- Let them describe the riparian area and what they think about the living conditions in each of these rivers from collected photographs.
- Which river do they think can better clean itself and why?
- What is the difference to natural rivers? (loss of habitats and biodiversity).
