Year 8 investigate infiltration rates around the school

Over the last few weeks, our Year 8 geographers have been investigating infiltration rates around the school site as part of their rivers and flooding topic. Using infiltrometers, students tested how quickly water soaks into different surfaces. They recorded their results, then analysed them in a follow up lesson.
This enquiry helps students understand why some areas are more likely to flood than others, while building important fieldwork and data collection skills.
Great teamwork, careful measurements and lots of curiosity from Year 8!
