Key Question (Can we save the Polar Bear?)
The project considers the causes and effects of global warming, especially on animal species, with a focus on the Polar Bear. A Power Point presentation (26 slides) considers the causes and effects of global warming, together with what we can do to tackle the problem. Card sorts and worksheets support the presentation. The plight of the polar bear is then considered through a Power Point (14 slides) and a YouTube clip, supported with activity and worksheets, as an introduction to pupils undertaking an extended homework project on an endangered species or community of their choice - a very effective support / guidance sheet is provided.
Emphasis is placed upon working effectively in groups, developing research skills and asking good questions.
Concepts: cause and effect, change, turning points, empathy, investigating sources; systems thinking; global issues; inter-relationships; international co-operation; greenhouse gases, climate, weather, radiation, pollution, endangered species, sea-level rise.
Assessment - pupils evaluate what they have achieved and need to improve in terms of resourcefulness, resilience, reflection and inter-relating with others.
