Name the coastline features - Worksheet - Year 5

This educational worksheet is designed for Year 5 students to help them identify and name various features commonly found along coastlines. The worksheet lists eleven different coastal features, including 'beach', 'cliff', 'cave', 'headland', 'stack', 'natural arch', 'tombolo', 'rocky inlet', 'river estuary', 'lagoon', and 'dune'. Each feature is numbered, and students are likely tasked with matching these terms to corresponding numbers on a diagram or photograph of a coastline, which would visually illustrate where each feature is typically located. This activity aims to enhance students' geographical vocabulary and their understanding of coastal landscapes.

The worksheet also prompts students to explore the history of Blackpool, a town on the northwest coast of England, by asking how it grew to become one of the UK's favourite seaside resorts. This question encourages students to consider the social, economic, and geographical factors that contributed to Blackpool's development as a popular holiday destination. Additionally, by asking what can be learned from Blackpool's coastline, the worksheet guides students to reflect on how the natural environment can influence human activity and the growth of a town, as well as how human activity can, in turn, impact the coastal environment.
