All the resources and tools you need to deliver thrilling lessons bringing the major issues in world geography alive for your class. This Whiteboard Active pack provides the highest quality BBC content complemented by lively activities to explore climate change and the steps being taken to address the problem. A host of important curriculum objectives are covered in the process.
The pack also explores three other major topics in the news, making your geography lessons relevant and stimulating:
Dealing with Disasters: with a wide range of compelling examples and case studies – from volcanic eruptions and earthquakes to flooding and oil spillages – this topic uses video clips and other resources to investigate the effects of disasters and the different measures that are taken to manage these extreme events.
Animals and Habitats: what can be done to protect endangered species and to help ease the pressure on sensitive habitats? The animals studied include penguins, tigers, polar bears and orang-utans.
Feeding the World: a range of important geographical issues connected with food are investigated – from the pressure on food supply created by a rising global population, to questions arising from the geographical origins and production methods of the food that we eat here in the UK.
