Individual Research Topics - Resources Under Pressure/Sustainability Unit

Greetings Social Studies class, 
 
By the end of the period you need to log into this blog - and  post a comment on this post detailing what your chosen research topic is for the assessment task. Can you please be detailed and give me and "overview" of what approach you are going to take... possible case studies you will use etc.

Remember - you have resources at your disposal - including the "Resources Under Pressure" and "Sustainability" text books at the front of the class. They would be a great source of inspiration if you are struggling for a topic! 

Make sure you log into the blog first - then write your comment - and post (waiting for me to moderate your comments!).

Cheers,
          Ms Fridd.  :)

  2. Limited Resource: Oil
    Reason: Earth is running out of oil, meaning most machinery would soon not work. This means that every machine will have difficulty running unless they run on a different resource like Vegetable oil.

    1. Sounds good James. Identifying ways that we can become more "green" would be great - we as individuals can make a huge difference and reduce the plastics going into our landfills etc.

    1. Just make sure you've got some of the "big picture" stuff in there. Think back to what we've done in class with our topic stuff - Resources Under Pressure and Sustainability. It has to be a part of the "big" issues we've been talking about - in particular how we are hurting the earth, issues with certain natural resources being under pressure, sustainable living etc. Is this issue going to be big enough?? Focus on Sustainable Species as an issue perhaps and focus on several case studies of animals.
