This geography and science lesson is intriguing and engaging! The construction of the Three Gorges Dam in China, the largest hydropower project in the world — that took 18 years to build and over 40,000 workers,—has sparked numerous controversies and debates regarding its impact on the environment.

One of the most intriguing claims is that the immense weight of the dam's reservoir has caused the rotation of the Earth to slow down. Some scientists argue that the shift in mass could potentially affect the Earth's rotation, while other scientists neglect the belief. The Earth's rotation is influenced by a multitude of factors, including natural processes such as earthquakes and the melting of polar ice caps, making it unlikely that the Three Gorges Dam alone could significantly slow down the planet. Students will work together to complete the Doodle Notes that go along with the PowerPoint presentation. Students will hypothesis whether the Three Gorges Dam has slowed the earth.

Note: This lesson supports the idea that the dam has slowed the earth's rotation and provides the scientific backing for it. Please feel free to modify this lesson to support one or the other side.

Your students will love this lesson, from 6th grade to 12th grade. The PowerPoint is included in the Zip File.

In 1980, China enforced the One-Child Policy Act to due to overpopulation issues as a result of Mao Zedong's policies, as he competed with Russia for power. Once he dies in 1979, China had to look at the population issues as there was a shortage of housing and resources— and they were continuing to multiply. Something had to be done, so the government enforce Martial Law and only allowed families to have one child.

(To examine in depth the One-Child Policy Act of 1979 under Mao Zedong's leadership, click here.)

However, now the One-Child Policy has created a downward shift in population, and as the older generation dies, the population is declining at significant rates. In 2016, to encourage population growth, China's government put in to play the Two-Child Policy pleading with its citizens, "Please have a second child". When that wasn't working, in 2021, they pass a Three-Child Policy.

This lesson examines and compares China's Child Policy Acts throughout the years and their effectiveness, also giving students the opportunity to provide their opinion of various scenarios.

OBJECTIVES:

• Understand the guidelines of the One-Child Policy Act, Two-Child Policy
  Act, and Three-Child Policy Act

One of the important concepts to teach when teaching about Asia is geared toward China's overpopulation problem that began during the communist reign of Mao Zedong in 1949, During Mao's time in office, he encouraged large families to help on the farmland. Mao believed number equaled power. Following his death in 1979, China faced an extreme overpopulation issue and started working toward controlling the population growth. In doing so, the government put in place the One Child Policy Act, limiting families to one child. This posed a problem as throughout history, the Asian culture celebrated male babies as they carry on the family name. **Many babies — often firstborn female infants during Mao's reign —**were kept secret, placed on the side of the road to be found, etc. To protect babies from being discarded, baby hatches (often called drop boxes throughout the rest of the world) were put in place where families could safely hand over their babies without placing them in harm's way. These safe havens for babies have existed for centuries. In 2011, China opened what it calls baby hatches — where desperate parents can leave a newborn. A medical team is supposed to pick up the infant within 10 minutes. This lesson is a great study on how government systems can solve their nation's population problems.

OBJECTIVE:

• Students will understand China’s and Korea’s cultural values and beliefs centered on the dynamic of the family and the importance of men in society.
• Students will explore the rationalization and need of baby drop boxes for children’s welfare.
• Students will determine if baby drop boxes solve children’s welfare issues or create more problems for Chinese and Korean societies.

INCLUDES:

• Easy student prep work
• Suggested introduction videos (Not required)
• Pre-reading activity
• Cooperative reading activity
• Cooperative group problems-solving balance beam scale activity for use of comparisons (Pros and cons activity)

Students will look up the definitions to each of the vocabulary words.

• Infanticide
• Overpopulation
• Dowry
• Foundlings
• Korea’s Special Adoption Law of 2012
• Human Rights

Georgianne, thank you for your purchase and interest in these high-level, fun learning activities. I hope this saves you much time in the planning process. There is always some prep for the lessons, but most everything is done for you: printable (not worksheets; they are printable the students use to interact ), introduction, list of materials needed, objectives, process, closure, etc.

Once you open the zip file, you will see all the lessons. Some are PDFs and others are zip files that you must open up to obtain all the parts to the lesson. i.e Push and Pull Factors is a zip file. Once opened, you will be able to access the Powerpoint, Pdf Lesson, etc. This is a very larger file, so it make take some time to download. If you have any questions or issues downloading, I sent you my email in the Question response.

Once you use these in your classroom, please take the time to provide feedback.

Thank you.
