Powerpoint inspired by the RGS scheme of work "China Today". Whole lesson, includes starter (images of China), mapping activity (China's neighbours), differentiated questions (life in China) and plenary (best and worst about China today).
Powerpoint, worksheet and resource sheets beginning with some strange facts about the climate. Activity finding out how climate data is collected and each method's limitations. A section about climate change denial and the reasons for ignoring the scientific findings. Differentiated questions:
1-3: Choose two of the stakeholders and describe why they might say climate change is not a problem
4-6: Explain one economic reason and one social reason why some people might say climate change is not a problem
7-9: Explain the political and psychological factors which might lead to climate change denial

A 'footsteps' project about China in the 21st Century. Pupils research data and illustrations to complete the booklet. Footsteps follow sections called: Hypothese; Expected Outcomes; Background; Methodology; Data Presentation; Analysis; Conclusion; Evaluation.
Questions for research include:
'China’s growth affects the natural environment because ...'
'In the past, the British Empire affected India because...'
'Most of China’s industries are located in........... because...'
'I think that the winners in Changing China’ are.............. because...'

Powerpoint and activities outlining how the mechanisation of farming and commercial fishing provide food
Blooms and 9-1 differentiated questions/activities
eg Grades 1-2 (Knowledge): You each have at least one clue… swap ideas to help you complete the following task. Describe how modern farming affects the environment by completing the labels surrounding the photo
Grades 8-9 (Evaluation): Use the picture of ‘The Environmental Effects of Commercial Fishing’ to: (a) Identify six problems caused by fishing (number them on the picture). (b) In your book, assess the harm done to ocean ecosystems by trawlers, then explain the criteria you would use to assess the six impacts
Find out how the farms we get our food from damages the environment (annotate photo)
Find out how eating fish causes damage to the environment
Powerpoint and activities investigating how reservoirs help secure water supplies (but also damage the environment)
