Pollution
Human activities like habitat loss, pollution, hunting and climate change are threatening many animal species and driving them towards extinction. Plastic pollution in particular is having major impacts on species. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is an area of concentrated plastic waste in the Pacific Ocean that is twice the size of France. Plastic is entering the food chain and being consumed by ocean animals, and also washing up on beaches. Species like green sea turtles and Laysan albatrosses are being negatively affected - turtles have high mortality rates due to plastic ingestion and entanglement, while albatross chicks are dying from plastic in their nests. Scientists are measuring these impacts to determine solutions and encourage environmental protections.
Investigating Landforms
The document discusses how landforms on Earth's surface were created. It explains the theory of plate tectonics, which proposes that approximately 200 million years ago, the single supercontinent of Pangaea broke apart into separate continents. Continents are parts of shifting tectonic plates that have moved over time, explaining why continents separated and fit together like pieces of a puzzle. Students are then instructed to explore in groups the definition, characteristics, examples, and non-examples of landforms, and investigate how these landforms were formed on Earth's surface through the forces of plate tectonics.
The physical landscape of Africa
Africa contains many diverse landscapes and ecosystems that are home to a wide variety of plant and animal species. Some of the most notable and important natural places in Africa include the Sahara Desert, the largest hot desert in the world; the Nile River, the longest river in the world; and Lake Victoria, the second largest freshwater lake. Other significant landscapes are Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa; the Congo Rainforest, the second largest rainforest in the world; and the Serengeti savannah, home to over 2 million large mammals. Madagascar is also notable for its high level of biodiversity, with 90% of plants and animals found nowhere else. The Great Rift Valley

Droughts, Floods, Avalanches & Tornadoes
A tornado is a rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes form when warm, moist air rises rapidly and encounters cooler air aloft, causing the warm air to rotate. The most tornado-prone area of the United States is known as Tornado Alley, which includes parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Carolina. Tornadoes in this region occur most frequently in the late spring and early summer months. Tornadoes are classified based on wind speeds and damage caused using the Fujita Scale, ranging from F0 with winds of 40-72 mph to F5 with winds over 260 mph.

It defines renewable energy as energy sources that are constantly replenished, such as biomass, geothermal, hydropower, wind, and solar energy. It provides details on each of the five main renewable energy sources, describing how they work to generate electricity or heat. For solar energy, it explains how solar panels capture energy from the sun to convert it into electricity or heat. For wind energy, it discusses how wind turbines harness the wind's kinetic energy. For water power, it describes how dams store and release water to spin turbines. For geothermal, it explains tapping heat from the Earth's core. For biomass, it covers energy
Non-renewable energy
Energy is the ability to produce change or do work. There are two main types of energy sources: non-renewable and renewable. Non-renewable sources exist in finite quantities and include fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. Fossil fuels were formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals. While they provide a large amount of energy, their use also causes pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
Non Renewable Energy
The document discusses different types of energy resources. It defines energy as the ability to produce change or do work. Energy resources are divided into nonrenewable and renewable categories. Nonrenewable resources include fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. These are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals. While nonrenewable resources allow for large-scale electricity production cheaply and ease of transport, their main disadvantage is pollution through carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide emissions, contributing to issues like global warming and acid rain.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch
Human pollution, especially plastic waste, is endangering many animal species. The 'Great Pacific Garbage Patch' has accumulated plastic trapped in ocean currents in an area twice the size of France.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
