This unit expands upon base knowledge, students have their basic skills toolbox, and this unit is intended to give a taste of geographical themes and issues on a global scale. This unit is intended to broaden horizons and to develop understanding that local actions can have global consequences. Students will be introduced to basic geographical graphing skills to add to their toolbox.

This unit is intended to give an overview of pollution and sustainability issues. The issues arising are engaging and relevant to students and hopefully will provide a good “hook”!
