The Glaciation title is absolutely spot on not dumbed down and it covers everything we need.” Jim Gardner,Head of Geography, Dame Allan's School As a user of previous Pumpkin DVDs I was interested to see how this new crop of Pumpkin Interactive films would compare. Production values are high and the film has been well received by students. The addition of ice and climate change into the 2014 national curriculum for key stage 3 may provoke additional interest in this DVD for those who are unfamiliar with these topics. Some sections of narration may be slightly too fast for Key Stage 3 students to take in first time round, but the script is provided. As with all Pumpkin products, extensive notes and student activities are provided. These are provided in PDF and Word format, so can be edited and repurposed for school use. Many activities are perhaps best suited to KS4-5 students Alan Parkinson, Review in Teaching Geography, Winter 2014, King's Ely School Suggested exam board specification links Edexcel GCE Area 1 Dynamic Landscapes Topic 2 Landscape Systems, Processes and Change Glaciated Landscapes and Change 2A.4, 2A.5, 2A.6, 2A.7, 2A.8, 2A.9 OCR GCE Component 1 Physical Systems 1.1.2 Landscape Systems Glaciated Landscapes 1.1.2.1a, 1.1.2.1b, 1.1.2.2.a, 1.1.2.2b, 1.1.2.3a, [/additional] How are glaciers formed? Where are they found? How and why do they move? How do they shape the land, both now and in the past? Using examples filmed in the UK, Iceland and the Alps, and with the help of satellite images, graphics and interviews with some of the world's leading glaciologists, this resource illustrates and explains the processes and landforms associated with glaciers. For access to the very latest research and current thinking on glaciation, this resource is an absolute must.
