• Int2 Rivers
As far as Rivers go there is not much difference between Standard Grade and INT2
The BBC has some excellent Rivers notes [HERE] also the Scalloway Website [HERE]
BBC River Landscapes
The above clip with notes can be found [HERE]
In class we used Learning Zone Clips to study River Landscapes these clips can be found below

Middle Course - River Tay [CLASS CLIP 4312]
Lower Course - River Tay [CLASS CLIP 4313]
Waterfalls [CLASS CLIP 404]

• Int2 Glaciation
As with Rivers we can use most of the SG Bitesize clips to revise Glaciation
The BBC SG Bitesize site has information on Glaciation [HERE]
BBC Glacial Erosion
The above clip with notes can be found [HERE]
The Loch Lomond Learning Zone Class Clip we use in class can be found here [Class Clip 1140]

Our Case Studies for Glaciation are :
The Cairngorms &/or Loch Lomond National Parks

[Back to PHYSICAL]
• Int2 Coasts
As Coasts do not appear in SG we need to look for clips on the GCSE Bitesize [Coasts] website , make sure you don't study topics we don't need to when using the GCSE site (if you don't know Ask)
BBC Coastal Processes
The above clip with notes can be found [HERE]
BBC Coastal Erosional Landforms
The above clip with notes can be found [HERE]

• Int2 Limestone
Web Resources on Limestone Landscapes at the level we are working at are pretty poor, the BBC has produced a website just for Int 2 Geography [HERE] if you have time have a look through it
Our best bet for revision is to look through the BBC Learning Zone Clips Below
BBC Limestone Formation
The above clip with notes can be found [CLASS CLIP 4701]
BBC Limestone Clips that cannot Embed here
The Surface Features clip with notes can be found [CLASS CLIP 4702
]
The Drainage Features clip with notes can be found [CLASS CLIP 4706
]
Our Case Study for Limestone is :
Yorkshire Dales - Malham
• Land Use Management
We need to know about tourism and protecting the natural environment
BBC GCSE Tourism

INT2 HUMAN GEOGRAPHY
• Int2 Population
Population is another topic that is very similar to what was studied at Standard Grade, there is lots of good notes on SG Bitesize [HERE] but few videos
BBC Britian from above UK population
The above clip with notes can be found [CLASS CLIP 7329]
Below are some useful clips from GCSE Bitesize
BBC GCSE Population distribution and density
BBC GCSE Populaton Change
BBC GCSE Migration
BBC GCSE Managing population change

• Int2 Urban
Int2 EMDC Urban is similar to Standard Grade and therfore the SG Bitesize Settlement course [HERE] will be useful for revision, although it is important to look at the GCSE website for information on ELDC Urban [HERE]
Our Case Studies for Urban are :
EMDC Urban - Glasgow
EMDC Urban - Rio &/or Sao Paulo
BBC GCSE Settlement characteristics
BBC GCSE Urban models in MEDCs
BBC GCSE Urban models in LEDCs

• Int2 Rural
The BBC Bitesize farming pages can be found [HERE] there are lots of good diagrams but no new revision clips
The following clips are direct from the GCSE site so may not match the Intermediate 2 course 100% as they link to English farms but they still are entertaining to watch
BBC GCSE Characteristics of farming
BBC GCSE Types of Farming
BBC GCSE Farming issues and Change
The Scalloway Farming Revision notes are also very good [HERE]
ELDC Rural
Online resources on ELDC are hard to find, it may be worth looking at the HIGHER Bitesize [website] for an overview
