"Programs in the series explore the surface of Earth from the tallest mountains to the deepest trenches on the ocean floor. They explain dynamic processes such as the movement of tectonic plates. Some biology is presented; a recent program introduced the idea of life near hot-water vents on the ocean floor. Other shows focus on chemical processes in Earth's air and oceans. The series also takes people on imaginary journeys into space, with programs exploring the planets and sun, the possible birth of new solar systems, the evolution of stars and galaxies, and exotic objects such as quasars and pulsars."

Tell them they are going to do an experiment to discover the effects of wind speed and water depth on the height of waves in a hurricane. Divide your class into pairs or small groups. Demonstrate how to set up the experiment as follows: Place the baking dish on a desktop.

Extractions: BA Geography (L700) / BSc Geography (F800) All our courses in all three years are available to both BA and BSc students. Each year of study will involve you in gaining 120 credits. To be awarded an Honours degree you need 360 credits. Some courses are compulsory, especially in the first year . So there are foundation courses in contemporary human geography and in environmental processes. However, even in the first year there is some choice and you may take 20 credits from course modules outside Geography if you wish. Popular choices for such Modules outside the Main Discipline (MOMDs) include How the Earth Works from Earth Sciences; Urban and Regional Studies; Media and Cultural Studies; and African Studies. Clearly, these courses are related to Geography, but you could also do nuclear physics if you have the appropriate background! In the second year only half your course is compulsory and these courses are all about how to become a reasonably proficient and professional geographer: how to think geographically; how to use statistical data; the problems and possibilities of using different techniques in human and physical geography; and how to devise a research project. The optional modules allow you to begin to determine the sort of geographer you want to become. You can be someone with skills and knowledge in environmental processes and management; or someone developing expertise in physical geography; or you may prefer to find out what makes cities and economies work, or the impact of different forms of social organisation and culture on the way people live. Or you may prefer to keep your options as wide as possible and take course across this broad spectrum. At Birmingham you can do any of these things because we think it important that you are able to build the degree you want.
