A slide show of pictures to prompt a discussion on globalisation and to introduce the main elements of the topic to year 8 and 9 Global Perspectives / Geography / Citizenship students

PPT presentation for TNCs as revision aid for topic of globalisation

This 8 slide PPT presentation introduces the topic of desertification to IGCSE Geography students. Includes brief definitions, shows the global reach and emphasises the effect of the Sahel and Senegal in particular. Video links show how, contrary to popular perception, desertification is not the loss of land to desert but refers to land degradation resulting from climatic variations and human activities. Other links show the Israeli experience, and a UN clip of the Somalia experience.

This is a short PPT presentation (7 slides) including a brief video explanation to outline the risks and studies made into 5G. Its purpose is to inform Geography IA2 students of the problems of 5G and the controversy surrounding it but also to prompt a discussion and further research. It has been used as part of the Health and Disease topic but can also be a useful PPT for Citizenship, PHSE and other subjects.

Outline of the effects of pollution due to human activity on our health. This is based on the published guide for IAL students and supplemented with explanations of autoimmune diseases, the effects in countries in differing levels of development, sources of urban and rural pollution,anti-microbial resistance, disease from natural disasters, noise pollution and related past paper materials. There are third part video clip links, too.

A 27-slide PPT presentation to introduce the subject of modern life diseases such as those brought on by lifestyle choices and obesity. The PPT uses up to date info from the NHS, the Edexcel subject guide and academic papers. It includes links to brief but very relevant videos. It is primarily intended for IAL Geography students but can be used for Citizenship too.

This PowerPoint presentation covers all aspects of the IAL Geography spec for Edexcel including all the key ideas of: • [KI] Energy sources can be classified in different ways, and their use varies widely. • [KI] As well as rising global demand, distribution of energy resources is uneven • [KI] Energy security varies, as does the security of pathways • [KI] The future supply of affordable fossil fuels is uncertain • [KI] Major energy players are key to supply continuity • [KI] Global energy demand has implications for the carbon cycle • [KI] Nuclear power is a contested energy source • [KI] Renewable energy alternatives are increasingly popular • [KI] Radical approaches may be needed to balance energy demand with environmental concerns Week 1: Energy supply, demand and security. Week 2: Energy supply, demand and security / The impact of energy use Week 3: The impact of energy use Week 4: Energy security and the future Week 5: Energy security and the future The presentation links to the Edexcel updated SOW with supplementary material to enhance or simplify the core knowledge. Classwork/Homework includes: • Compare and contrast electricity generation and consumption by country on the EIA website. • Investigate per capita energy use and energy types in countries at different levels of development and explain these in relation to economic and resource factors • Drawing conclusions from resource work • Today’s energy choices will shape the future of energy, but how should we assess their impact and adequacy? (• 1. Where is the global energy system heading, based on the policy plans and investment choices we see today. • 2. Assess what would need to be done differently in order to reach the climate, energy access, pollution and other goals that policy makers have set themselves.) • Use world outline maps to map areas of energy surplus (oil, coal, case, uranium) versus locations of highest consumption, and locations with high renewable potential; Add flow lines of major trade flows in oil, coal and gas • The economic and environmental costs and benefits of : The Athabasca Oil Sands Brazil’s Deep Water Oil Shale Gas/Oil in the Dakotas, USA VIDEO LINKS to The Economist library on Energy Security, World Economic Forum, BBC, The Guardian and many others.
