This is the second lesson and focuses on the global distribution of ACs, EDCs and LIDCs; before moving on to economic and social measures of development, and the Human Development Index.

This lesson encourages students to apply their knowledge of a range of development indicators to draw conclusions about a country’s level of development. It focuses on researching development indicators of both the UK and Ethiopia. This will be built on later as Ethiopia will be used as the main case study for this topic.

A lesson planned for an observation. Exploring: Volcanic Eruption Theory, Sun Spot Theory and Orbital Changes. The lesson combines graph analysis with theory to encourage students to consider whether any of the natural theories constitute a valid argument for global climate change.
