Comparing People and Places
Our new topic will be looking at the similarities and differences between people and places. This will include a lot of cross-curricular work within subjects such as geography, maths, ICT, art and DT. Below you will find a range of tasks for you to work your way through. This will continue to be updated
4. Amazon in numbers
Watch
the BBC videos one and two and explore the amazon rainforest
on the Google ‘streetview’ weblink, as well as the satellite
maps and images. You will be creating a report in the role of
environmental scientists on the Amazon Basin. write a synopsis of the region as the presentation introduction (see
editorial guidelines in resource for help as to what to include).
Data can give us a
more in-depth insight into a region/ecosystem. From the data you are going to look at you need to identify and analyse some
key figures to demonstrate the diversity and importance of the region in terms
of its physical environment. Use
the stats to create their own ‘Amazon infographic’ (computer generated or
drawn) that includes data from the resources. One example is:
Further examples of infographics and all the resources can be found at: Amazon resources
