Geography: Tackling Asia's Climate Change Issues Carousel Activity + Task Cards

By Geography & Math Made Easy

Asia, in particular, faces some of the most severe consequences of climate change, including rising sea levels, more frequent and intense natural disasters, and changes in agricultural patterns. By teaching about the climate change crisis in Asia, students will learn about the specific challenges that people in this region face. Students will read about 10 effects of climate change on Asia and will work together to find solutions.

Many countries in Asia are already experiencing the effects of rising sea levels, which are putting millions of people at risk of flooding, displacement, and human disease. By learning about these 10 human impacts on the environment and global climate change challenges, we can better understand the urgency of taking action to reduce our carbon emissions and greenhouse gasses and mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Students will work in cooperative groups rotating throughout the 10 carousel stations and will analyze the various solutions, deciding, which would be the best solution for each climate change issue. Groups will simply need to back up their decision.

Includes:

  • Teacher Guided Detailed Instructions
  • 10 Station Activities
  • 10 Task Cards
  • Exit Tickets

☑ For secondary — middle school and high school students

The Killing Fields, Underground Poaching, Includes PowerPoint (Earth Day)

By Geography & Math Made Easy

Poaching is an illegal act of hunting, capturing, or killing animals and plants without permission from the authorities and is an environmental issue and selling ivory tusks, fur, and other resources for profit. Throughout the world today, animals, plants, and our environment overall are facing poaching issues. What does this look like and what does it mean for our species and their future? What does it mean for us? Take a look at various endangered animals and plants that are facing poaching through an introductory PowerPoint.

Animals that are typically poached, such as rhinoceroses, elephants, tigers, and bears sell at very high prices for profit.

Plants that are endangered and in danger of being poached for profit are wild ginger and cycad plants in South Africa to ginseng and venus fly traps are all under great threat at the hands of poachers.

Explore the poaching issues throughout the world and explore the underground trade system faced by Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, South Africa, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and India as well as many other nations, finding ways to create protection and environmental safety.

OBJECTIVES

  • Students will become familiar with the types of poaching and trafficking throughout the world through an Introductory PowerPoint Presentation (Plants and animals)
  • Students understand the dangers of poaching and trafficking to animals and the environment.
  • Students will research different types of poaching around the world and will determine a working solution to the poaching problem.
  • Students will write a proposal to an organization that protects endangered species/agriculture to persuade them to help fund their solution/plan to the poaching issue.

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

· Introduction PowerPoint: The Killing Fields

· Internet, magazines, and books on poaching.

· Articles: The Killing Fields - Rhino or The Killing Fields – Pangolin (Included)

· The Killing Fields Activity Research Sheet (Included)

· Presentation Rubric (Included)

PROCEDURE:

Students will work in cooperative groups of 2-3 (or as an individual assignment, if the instructor wishes) to read one or both of the articles The Killing Fields - Rhino or The Killing Fields – Pangolin (Included). Allow students to discuss the articles as a class and ask questions. Students will begin their group activity.

Working in their teams and using the Student Activity Sheet: The Killing Fields (included), they will research species or agriculture that are being poached and trafficked around the world. Provide access to the Internet, articles, or books on poaching as sources of research. To save time, the instructor may wish to assign students a home assignment to students requiring them to bring in an article regarding poaching to save time.

CLOSURE:

Students will present their findings and proposals and will be graded via the grading rubric. (Included)
