Content

• Statement of inquiry
  • Scientific and technical innovators need to understand how power affects the processes that occur within systems.
• Factual questions [Remembering facts and topics]
  • How are erratics | lateral moraines | medial moraines | terminal moraines | drumlins formed?
• Conceptual questions [Analysing big ideas]
  • Is there such a thing as a 'textbook landform'?
• Aims of this lesson
  • To have knowledge and understanding of glacial landforms associated with the deposition.

Context

Task - Note making

For each of the landforms listed below, you need to define each and then produce a well annotated diagram to explain how and why they are formed.

• erratics
• lateral moraines
• medial moraines
• terminal moraines
• drumlins

The diagram below may help you decide upon a style for your diagram but your diagram will include far more detail and insight.

The resources below will help you with your task.
