India became the world's most populated country in 2023. Let's explore these three essential questions to determine the how, the why, and the potential impact on India and the world:
Why are some parts of the world more populated than others?
What are the causes and effects of an increasing global population?
What impact does overpopulation and high population density have on a country and how does it respond?

This week we will wrap up our Africa unit by watching a movie that embodies many important character traits such as perseverance, ingenuity, and hard work. This is a true story of William Kamkwamba, a boy living in Malawi during the great floods there in 2001, and his quest to save his village from famine after the grain fields were ruined. It’s really an amazing story, one that I know you’ll enjoy!

For the second part of the project, you will create a non-governmental organization (NGO) with the goal of improving life in your African country. The improvement can be focused on improving education, access to fresh water, better sanitation, combating climate change, eliminating infectious disease, or equality and justice.
Today, we will learn about NGOs and their functions. We will watch a short video about Operation Acacia, an Italian-based NGO that sponsored a project in Senegal in 2012. Operation Acacia addressed the issue of desertification and climate change through the planting of acacia trees. The trees helped replenish the soil with nutrients for farming, and the sap that came from tree bark gave farmers a substance called “gum arabic”, a key ingredient in manufacturing gel caps for pharmaceutical companies, and in processed foods including candy (Haribo Gummy Bears, for example). The gum arabic sales have now created a stable economy for villagers living in the dry Sahel and have helped reverse the effects of climate change.
Attached here is a template for your NGO, an example from a previous school year, and the link to the video.

Part I: You are part of a non-governmental organization (NGO) tasked with identifying and addressing issues in African nations. Examining each nation’s history and data, come up with one major issue you would like to address. For your audience, create a poster that highlights important data from a selected country. Research the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) associated with the chosen issue, and develop an action plan to address the issue for your NGO. You will do this in Part II.

We can't begin to understand modern Africa without looking at the Berlin Conference. During this series of meetings in 1884 and 1885, the leaders of Europe decided how to divide Africa among themselves for control of valuable natural resources. By 1960, many of these colonies gained their independence and became the modern nations of Africa. However, the legacy of imperialism has left many of these countries still facing terrible economic, environmental, and political challenges.

How have humans affected the environment in ways that leave so many species endangered?
The ecosystems of rainforests have thrived in temperate and tropical zones for nearly 70 million years. Today, around 1 million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction, many within decades, more than ever before in human history. Let’s learn more about the endangered species of South America and the Amazon Rainforest and how we can help slow down, and maybe even reverse the rate of extinction.

Now that you have completed a map, quick profile sheet, and brief historical overview of Brazil, it's time to begin an exploration of Brazil in great detail. We will start with a short video overview of the country (followed by a short Google Form) and a more detailed Prezi on the "Five Themes of Geography" of Brazil. We will learn what the five themes of geography are, and how they apply to Brazil. I will hand out a graphic organizer to assist you in keeping the information organized (it's also attached here).

Now that we have explored our personal ecological footprint, the human footprint of consumption, and the unit on Sustainability let's examine global sustainability issues around the world. Working in groups, you will choose a region of the world, and a sustainability issue affecting a country in that region. You will develop an essential question, conduct research, and present your findings to your audience in a Google Slideshow.

Now that we have explored our personal ecological footprint, the human footprint of consumption, and the unit on Sustainability let's examine global sustainability issues around the world. Working in groups, you will choose a region of the world, and a sustainability issue affecting a country in that region. You will develop an essential question, conduct research, and present your findings to your audience in a Google Slideshow.
Please utilize World Book online to start your research.

We can't talk about the sustainability of our planet without discussing the issue of consumption of single-use plastic containers and recycling. What really happens to all the plastic bottles and containers that Americans toss into recycling bins? Probably not what you think.
Today we will read "The Truth About Recycling Plastic" in the November, 2021 issue of Junior Scholastic and complete several activities.

How does CONSUMPTION impact SUSTAINABILITY? Consumption of products and services impacts the environment in many different ways. For example, the things we buy contribute, directly or indirectly through the product lifecycle, to climate change, pollution, biodiversity loss and resource depletion on Earth.
As we continue to examine our "Human Footprint", we will look at a 2007 National Geographic documentary on the "mark" humans make on the earth throughout the average lifespan of human existence. Please follow the directions on this graphic organizer (I'll give you a paper copy to work on) and as you watch the documentary, take notes on the actual number of items we use in a lifetime, and write a reflection to the question asked at the end of the worksheet.

Now that we have learned about the concept of SUSTAINABILITY, Use the Ecological Footprint Calculator to determine how big is your carbon footprint, brainstorm ways you can reduce that number, and create an infographic on what you learned. Use the graphic organizer to collect your data.
Once completed, use the data to create an infographic on the "footprint" on how you can help live sustainably. Refer to the rubric for specific requirements.
