Research Project 2 - Moira Towpath (The Broad Water)

Studyseed CIC • May 12, 2020

Take part in this free research project for KS2 - KS3 students!


One of our favourite spots to go for a long walk is by the Broad Water. This towpath runs between Moira and Aghalee and you can see lots of interesting creatures and flora along the way. We've put together a fact sheet that highlights some of the creatures that you can spot on the walk, along with a few interesting facts about Moira railway station, the Lagan Canal and the way in which this towpath was once a very busy way in which goods were transported between Belfast and Lough Neagh.


This free resource pack includes a worksheet for KS2-3 students that has some comprehension and SPAG questions. We also encourage students to carry out their own research and to map out a route of a walk that they take, with any interesting wildlife and plants marked out along the way!


You can download the fact sheet and worksheet for free by clicking here.


We would love to see your completed factsheets and will share them on our website if you would like us to! Just pop them over to us in an email to info@studyseed.co.uk or PM us them on Facebook. Happy researching!
