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. |

Citizenship : Unit 21: People and the environment
http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/schemes2/citizenship/cit021/ Citizenship at key stage 3 (Year 7-9) Unit 21: People and the environment In this unit pupils investigate the complexity of evaluating choices by considering values and scientific evidence together. A key subject for scientific investigation is the interaction between people and the environment, and how this differs both geographically and historically. By appreciating the wider impact of individual behaviours, pupils can begin to consider the need for changing lifestyles, now and in the future. 1. How do local environmental issues affect our community? What are our rights and responsibilities? 2. How can we weigh up the arguments? 3. Why is it important to weigh up the arguments? 4. What have we learnt? |
