This document analyzes the content knowledge covered in a Year 9 inquiry-based unit on Madagascar's uncertain future. It shows how students acquired foundational knowledge about Madagascar's location, development, and biodiversity in early lessons. Later lessons required applying and linking this content knowledge, as well as developing procedural knowledge through activities on illegal rosewood logging and sustainable decision making. The unit assessed students' understanding of why Madagascar faces an uncertain future based on three possible futures scenarios.
This document discusses the causes of global climate change, including both natural and human factors. It describes how the Earth's climate has fluctuated in the past due to variations in solar output, volcanic eruptions, and orbital shifts. However, it notes that current warming is unprecedented and cannot be explained by natural causes alone based on factors like CO2 levels exceeding natural levels, the last 50 years being the warmest in over 1300 years, and rising global temperatures observed on every continent since 1970. The document suggests that while natural factors have influenced the climate in the past, human activities like burning fossil fuels are the dominant cause of recent climate change, releasing greenhouse gases like CO2 into the atmosphere at accelerated rates not seen since the Industrial
This document defines climate change as a change directly or indirectly caused by human activity that alters the composition of the atmosphere in addition to natural variability. It lists both natural causes like volcanic eruptions and human causes such as greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and burning fossil fuels as contributing to climate change. The effects of climate change discussed include rising sea levels from melting ice sheets, more extreme weather events like heavy rainfall and drought, declining crop productivity, changing ecosystems, rising temperatures, and ocean acidification.

An April 19, 2011 webinar hosted by SolarTech, featuring SJSU faculty Meg Virick and Joel West; reported results from the first employer survey of the SJSU Solar Workforce Project
This project explores revitalizing Redwood Creek in Redwood City, California through environmental design at multiple scales. At the city scale, it proposes transforming the creek corridor into an urban greenway connecting downtown to the bay. At the site scale, it encourages the community to rediscover and embrace the creek. Finally, at the detail scale it aims to evoke the creek's ecological value and inform the community. The overall goal is to promote sustainability through re-envisioning the creek corridor.
Three clear themes emerged from discussions at the recent LOMA Customer Service Conference in Orlando:
1. Customers are becoming more demographically diverse, less forgiving, and more demanding that service be delivered how and when they want it or they will quickly move on to a competitor.
2. Companies are recognizing the importance of understanding the customer's expectations and recognizing employees in call and service through incentives.
3. These themes hold significant potential for the industry, representing changes that will impact products, service, and distribution in the coming years.

Spanish Prime Minister Rajoy Communicationingenia_pro
The document discusses the communication strategy of Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's government. It argues that Rajoy has adopted the same reactive communication approach that worked while opposing other parties, but is ineffective for governing and addressing crises. Specifically, it notes Rajoy and his team rarely provide narratives or anticipate issues, allowing others to set the agenda. This bunker-like approach leaves Rajoy vulnerable and isolated as circumstances mount. The document calls for Rajoy to take a more active leadership role in communication to regain control of messages.

This document discusses using Google Earth to enhance geography teaching and learning. It provides examples of mapping data using polygons, embedding multimedia like videos and photos for geographical inquiry, and presenting fieldwork data. Specific skills are outlined, like using polygons and overlays to map crime data in London or rosewood logging in Madagascar. Presenting coastal fieldwork data is discussed using history mode, overlays and GE Graphs. The document also introduces tools for creating global thematic maps and presenting data with GE Graphs.
The document discusses different perspectives on curriculum design and knowledge acquisition in geography education. It presents three potential futures for geography education: 1) "Govian Elitism" which focuses only on procedural knowledge, 2) A "Knowledge Society" which balances procedural, content, and core knowledge, and 3) "Objective Knowledge" which focuses only on core knowledge. The key idea is that students need all three types of knowledge (core, content, and procedural) to fully understand geography. Geographical inquiry is presented as a way to connect these different types of knowledge through activities that create needs to know, use data, make sense of information, and reflect on learning.

Multimedia Geography through Google EarthMr Cornish
This document discusses using Google Earth to teach multimedia geography. Google Earth allows students to explore the world through geolocated photos, videos, and audio. Examples are given of projects like tours of tribes, sporting events, biomes, and fieldwork. The document explains how to embed multimedia from sites like Flickr, YouTube, Audioboo, and others directly into Google Earth placemarks. It also describes using snapshot views to focus on embedded media. An example is given of an investigation into rosewood logging using geolocated materials from Madagascar, China, and the USA.
Loggers turn to bush meat as supplies run dry upMr Cornish
Loggers trapped inside Marojejy National Park with dwindling food supplies have turned to hunting lemurs, including critically endangered Silky Sifaka, to survive. One logger reported that they have run out of rice and have not been paid for dangerous work, floating heavy logs down rivers without equipment. The logger questioned why China, who receives the logs, does not help the loggers transport more logs out of the forest if they are benefiting from the operation.

Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to climate change due to its location in a delta region with high population density and most areas being less than 5 meters above sea level. Climate change is expected to exacerbate existing threats like sea level rise, stronger cyclones, heavier monsoon rains, flooding from the Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers, and drought in northern areas. This will negatively impact the lives and livelihoods of Bangladeshis, many of whom work in fishing and rice farming. Heavier rains could wash away homes and crops, while flooding and drought could destroy harvests and force people into debt.
The Madagascar Expedition 2012 School Building Project aims to build a secondary school in Andranosoa Village, Madagascar with funds raised by UK students. A group of 34 year 12 and 13 students will travel to Madagascar in July-August 2012 to construct the school using £20,000 which will cover building materials, furniture, resources, and salaries for 2 teachers. The project seeks to help the country's vulnerable populations through education and is promoting fundraising efforts including raffles, events, and merchandise sales.
The itinerary provides details for a 12 day expedition to Madagascar organized by The Coopers’ Company and Coborn School. The expedition involves multiple modes of transportation including flights, buses, and river trips. Activities include exploring national parks, participating in a village project, hiking, camping, and visiting local communities. Locations that will be visited include Andasibe National Park, Tsiribihina River, Bekopaka and the Tsingy de Bemaraha UNESCO site, Kirindy Forest Reserve, Mangily village, Belo sur Mer eco-lodge, Morondava, and the capital city of Antananarivo.
This document provides an overview of a new marketing campaign for a client. The campaign will target customers ages 25-45 in major cities through Facebook ads, influencer marketing, and a new landing page on the company website.

The document discusses Curitiba's sustainable practices around recycling, transport, industry, parks, flood control, land use, and return home schemes. It describes how:
1) Curitiba has a unique recycling program called the "green swap" where residents can exchange recyclables for food/bus tickets at recycling points.
2) The city developed an extensive bus rapid transit system with dedicated lanes that over 75% of commuters use, reducing congestion.
3) An industrial city was built 10km outside Curitiba to avoid pollution and provide jobs for citizens.
4) The city turned flood plains into parks and increased green space to over 50 square meters per person to handle flooding and
Las Vegas is located in the Mojave Desert of Nevada, but has grown rapidly from a small rural town to a major urban center with a population of over 1.5 million. While surrounded by rural desert, Las Vegas itself is considered urban due to its large population and density. The rapid growth and development of Las Vegas has transformed what was once undeveloped desert into a sprawling city, through a process known as greenfield development on previously unused land. The city faces significant sustainability challenges associated with its arid desert location, including high water and energy consumption as well as impacts to local wildlife and climate change.
Migration has significantly changed the demographics of the UK. There are several types of migrants, including illegal migrants, displaced migrants, and voluntary migrants who move willingly. Recent trends show increases in UK migration, with migrants living and working predominantly in major cities like London. The population distribution shapes a pyramid structure, with more working-age migrants and fewer children or elderly, reflecting voluntary economic migration patterns.

The document provides instructions for students to use Google Earth to map and analyze crime levels in different boroughs of London relative to their distance from central London. Students are asked to:
1) Map the total crime levels in different boroughs by changing the altitude of each borough polygon based on total crime numbers.
2) Color-code the boroughs based on levels of a specific crime chosen by the student.
3) Consider a map showing deprivation levels in London and examine whether there is a link between deprivation and crime levels.
Students are asked to take a screenshot of their final map, discuss whether the hypothesis that crime increases the closer one gets to central London is supported, and suggest other data that could
This document discusses ways that Flip Video cameras can be used to enhance teaching and learning. It provides examples of how Flip Videos can be used for starters and plenaries, mysteries, explaining concepts, discussions and debates, vox pops, assessing students, evaluating projects, conducting field work, supporting special needs and gifted students, staff training, and capturing student voice. It also covers editing videos and sharing them through websites like Vimeo and blogs to present results.
El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a climate pattern that occurs across the tropical Pacific Ocean approximately every 3 to 7 years, characterized by the warming of eastern Pacific Ocean waters and low atmospheric pressure in that region. El Niño events can have widespread global impacts, including severe droughts in some areas like the Philippines as well as floods in other regions such as California during the strong 1997-1998 El Niño when abnormally high sea levels caused hundreds of millions in flood damage in the San Francisco Bay area.
