Hawaii - Earth's Tropical Islands

Earth’s Tropical Islands: Hawaii

BBC documentary, currently on iPlayer.

A question and answer worksheet based around the 50 minute documentary Hawaii Earth’s Tropical Islands episode 3. This documentary is about the formation of the Hawaiian Islands, volcanic hotspots and the variable conditions it presents to wildlife.

It could be used to support learning around hotspots, volcanic activity, river and coastal erosion, animal habitats and adaptations or place specific study of Hawaii. Some discussion on how humans impact the landscapes in Hawaii. Can cover a lesson or used as a stand-alone homework.

I have included additional exam questions and tasks to complete at the end of the lesson or for a follow up at another point.

Topics include:

Hotspots
Volcanoes
Hawaiian wildlife
Shallow sea ecosystem
Coastal environments
