One Planet, Many People (free PowerPoints)
http://www.na.unep.net/OnePlanetManyPeople/powerpoints.html One Planet, Many People: Atlas of Our Changing Environment provides a comprehensive, visual presentation of scientifically verifiable information about changes in the global environment, shown through state-of-the-art remote sensing technology. A collection of 405 Powerpoint slides divided into Regional and Thematic sets covering 11 contemporary and dynamic themes - Introduction to the Planet, People and Planet, Atmosphere, Coastal Areas, Urban Areas, Water and Lakes, Forests, Cropland, Grassland, Tundra and Polar Areas and Extreme Events - and 6 geographical regions - Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Europe, Latin America, North America and Polar Regions - can now be downloaded free of charge. Examples include the shrinking ice in the Arctic, melting glaciers, growth of cities like Las Vegas, forest loss in the Amazon, and the decline of the Aral Sea and Lake Chad. Satellite images found in the 334-page hard-bound Atlas are packaged in this Powerpoint presentation format to facilitate the use of imagery by environmental policy makers, non-governmental organizations, the private sector, academics, teachers and citizens interested in using this material to visually demonstrate the changes resulting from natural processes and human-induced activities. |

Sustainable Schools
http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/sustainableschools/ Sustainable Schools The Sustainable Schools area of Teachernet is designed to support schools on their journey to sustainability, introducing the principles of sustainable development and offering guidance on how to embed these principles into the heart of school life. The site provides useful information for all sectors of the school community, including the leadership team, the management team, teachers and parents, and offers a number of excellent online and downloadable tools (auditing, benchmarking, environmental assessment) to help schools identify the best route to becoming more sustainable. The Sustainable Schools site is designed to help school managers and teachers to assess current practice, and to decide where to go next. In the Tools section you can access a number of school improvement tools. These help schools assess current practice, identify areas for improvement, and begin the process of change. | S3: Sustainable School Self-evaluation Tool | Chronos for Schools e-Learning Tool | Think Leadership Auditing & Benchmarking Tool | Leading for the future Professional Development Course | WWF Wholeschool Pathway Tool | LTL Schools Grounds Evaluation Toolkit | Waste Watch School Auditing Tool | |

Improving the environment
http://www.standards.dfee.gov.uk/schemes/geography/geo8?version=1 This is a 'long' unit. In it, children use the school buildings, grounds and immediate locality to investigate environmental issues and improvements. It encourages children to become actively involved in improving their local environment. The unit may also be shortened to a medium unit by retaining the work on litter in the classroom and omitting the work in the school grounds. Guidance on how to link the Geography Scheme of Work with other areas of the curriculum can be found in the section about Links with other areas of the curriculum. This particular unit offers links to literacy, mathematics, IT and environmental education. |
