Students compare a dammed section of the river Dargle to a normal stream channel on the same river. They will observe firsthand the effects and changes. This study aligns perfectly with the CBA2 requirements, providing a structured yet engaging experience with real-world applications. We take care of all the logistics and preparation, providing structured workbooks and a guided field study. Students spend a single day gathering the information they need to complete their write-up and presentation. We offer an entirely outdoor field study experience. Our workbooks with clear instructions ensure students collect accurate, relevant data that directly supports their GI write-up. We will provide Wellington boots. clipboards and specialist equipment to ensure students can comfortably engage with their fieldwork. Programme example: 11.00 am Arrive and meet the instructors, have snacks, and have time to use the facilities. 11.15 am Safety brief, change into Wellingtons, and collect equipment. Walk to the river. 1.30 pm Back to the car park - change and have lunch. 2.00 pm Finish. Depart or free time to look at the Waterfall. (The gates to the waterfall open at 10.30 am.
