The collection of digital images shown below were taken along a route from Brooklands Bridge over the River Derwent (953794) to the village of Butterwick (991713) on the Yorkshire Wolds, shown on the O.S. map on Activity Sheet 4.6b.

Complete the following activities using the digital images together with the resources provided in the pupil’s book.

1. Download each image and find its location along the route, you could stick the pictures around a copy of the map and draw arrows onto the map to show the location of each image.
2. Copy and paste each image into a word processing file, and use Diagram A on page 286 of the pupil’s book to either write up an analysis of each image or annotate each picture.
3. a) Make a copy of Diagram A on page 56 of the pupil’s book
b) Download images to show the following: clay vale, scarp slope, dip slope, spring line settlement.
c) Stick the images around your sketch, draw arrows from them to show their location on the sketch.
4. Download the image of a water pump. This pump is located in Sherburn. Locate Sherburn on the O.S. map. Read the text on page 56 of the pupil’s book, and then annotate your digital image to explain why the pump is located in the village.
5. Download the image of a dry valley. This is located just to the south of the area shown in the map extract. Read the text about dry valleys in the pupil’s book on page 56, and then label characteristic features on your image.
6. Look carefully at the collection of images and describe how land use changes from Brooklands Bridge to Butterwick.
