Description

This unit teaches pupils about the growing demand for natural resources and the different renewable and non-renewable ways humans try to meet their needs. Pupils will learn the impact of overexploitation and some of the ways natural resource exploitation can be managed.

This unit teaches pupils about how natural resources are essential for our society and economy to function and yet their geographical distribution is uneven. Pupils will draw on their knowledge of geology and weather and climate to understand the distribution of natural resources and link to past units, including forest biomes, by focussing on the impact of over-exploitation. Pupils will use the knowledge gained from this unit to make sense of regional studies on the Middle East and Russia later in the year.
