Risk Literacy/Bath in River

The learning resource addressed a risk literacy in the context of a situation that will not necessary be perceived as a situation in which citizens are exposed to risks.

Learning Task
The video on the right was taken at the river Rhine Cologne/Rodenkirchen in Germany which shows the impact on the water level when a ship is passing by.
 * (Risk Literacy) Analyse the time and position of ship and the impact on the water level when the ship is passing by. When is the most risky time e.g. for small children playing close to the water line at the beach of the river.
 * Look a time index 2:00 in the video,
 * Compare the situation with time index 4:00 in the video and watch the last part of the video,
 * now start to watch the video from the start and try to identify when the you would expect the wave to come from observing the river.
 * explain how this relates to risk literacy of parents and children playing at the river and collecting stones or shells when the water is gone.
 * (Mathematics) Create graph (x-axis time index of video and approximate water level on y-axis) showing the impact of a ship passing by. 0 is the default water level without ships on the river Rhine. Create a graph with e.g. LibreOffice and CSV2Chart and display your results in this learning  resource
 * (Risk Mitigation) What can be done to improve risk literacy of people, so that less people will be exposed to dangerous situations when the waves are generated ships on the river especially in summer when people are staying close to the river?
 * (Tsunami) Compare the situation at the river with a tsunami at the coast and the risk literacy to "read" unusual tides at the sea shore.
 * (Animals as Sensor) Explore scientific literature, that indicated early warning sensors of animals that show an unusual behaviour as an indicator of earth quakes and/or vulcanic eruptions.
 * (Other Risks) Collect other risks in summer in conjunctions with a river, that might be addressed. How can risk literacy be addressed that no fear is generated and risk mitigation is performed without impact of enjoying the nature and the river for recreation?
 * (Adults and Children) How would you distinguish between adults and children for improvement of risk literacy and how could that be addressed in schools, colleges, teacher training, informations placed at the recreational area?
