TEACHING AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Select and adapt these learning activities to best meet the needs of your
students, and to fit the time available:
- Glossary
Mix and match exercise. Use a coin and a
leaf. Write the words on one shape and the
definitions on the other shape. In pairs the students match the words and
their definitions together.
- What resources are there?
- Students
brainstorm
resources, goods and services that they have encountered in their daily lives.
- They then create a
Conceptual Organiser
to illustrate types of resources, goods and services.
- Disaster Strikes
Students look at the possible impact of an outbreak of foot and mouth on our
resources, and our ability to access them.
- Down on the Border
The role of Customs, MAF and Immigration services in managing risks to our
resource base.
- Customs Duties
Free Trade or Protectionism? How do these opposing beliefs affect our
ability to access resources, goods and services?
- Exclusive Economic Zones
Maritime nations create EEZs in an effort to manage access to their main
resource - fish.
- McWorld
The sworn enemies of the conservationists? Multinational companies are often
portrayed as the "bad guys" in the campaign to manage access to resources.
- Deciding How to Manage Access to Resources
Students create their own treaty designed to manage access to a selected
resource.
- Wrap Up
Construct a Futures Timeline to show:
- what might happen if we do not manage access to resources effectively
- what might happen if we do work to manage access to resources.
- Follow Up
The other side of the coin.
Consider ways of managing
population growth
so that the need to access resources in an unsustainable way is reduced.
