In this two hour KS3 lesson, pupils evaluates the impact of tourism on national parks. Students are required to reflect on the wide range of economic opportunities within national parks, and consider if these positives outweigh problems caused by such use. Students complete a card sort task to categorise tourist impacts. Students use role play cards to identify key issues before taking part in a debate. An engaging cartoon is provided, from which pupils must identify problems that tourists introduce. A conflict matrix is used to reflect on how the wide range of user groups may come into conflict with each other.
