Like many countries, Brazil is separated into a number of states which are then grouped together to form regions. These worksheets look primarily at south and southeast Brazil.
As China is such a large country it’s not surprising to find that the climate varies from place to place and that these variations have different impacts of people’s lives.
These worksheets help students to understand climate graphs, how to read ad draw them. They also give them a chance to develop their own graph and peer mark eachothers ideas with supporting comments.
Students are able to identify what ‘grasslands’ are, identify the key members of a food chain and be able to produce a food chain for a given environment
Located in the southern Siberia area of Russia, Lake Baikal is the world’s largest freshwater and deepest lake in the world and in 1996 became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Sometimes referred to as the Sacred Sea, the lake represents the unspoilt beauty of Russia and is the central part of many local myths and folklore. Lake Baikal is also known as the ‘Galapagos Of Russia’ due to its exceptional biodiversity and importance to evolutionary science. The freshwater ecosystem is one of the world’s richest dues to its age, isolation and deep oxygenated water.
These worksheets have the students research some of the unique flora and fauna which is found Lake Baikal and discusses the best stratagies to help protect these from the increasing number of visitors to the area.
Dark tourism has been around for many hundreds, if not thousands of years, but is only now coming to the fore. Dark tourism refers to the specific locations’ tourists visit due to their links to death or tragedy. There are many theories as to why people are attracted to these places.
This worksheet is a simple introduction to the topic looking at how similar destinations advertise themselves, whether it is thought right to advertise these places as ‘attractions’ and whether there is a location they would like to visit of the same genre.
These questions could be an interesting way to begin a unit on a tragic episode in our planets history and explain how we could learn from our past.

The students’ task is to produce a project booklet about the Maasi Tribe including their location, statistics, gender roles, homes, dress, and culture. As well as the problems facing the tribes from tourism and desertification for example.
