Learning intentions and success criteria Resources on Earth

Learning intention To understand that the Earths resources are limited Level 1 I can list some resources that the Earth is running out of I can define a resource as something that is useful to humans I can define the terms natural resource, made resource, renewable resource and non-renewable resource I can name some resources extracted from the air I can name the layers of the Earths atmosphere I can describe some of the effects of carbon dioxide and ozone in the atmosphere I can list some resources extracted from the Earth, the oceans and living things I can describe how Aboriginal communities use resources extracted from living things I can describe some science careers associated with resource extraction Level 2 I can explain why some resources are being depleted Level 3 I can explain why society needs to find ways to use resources more effectively I can explain why society needs to balance our use of natural and made resources, and renewable and nonrenewable sources

To understand the different categories of resources

I can distinguish between natural and made resources I can distinguish between renewable and non-renewable sources

To understand the uses and effects of resources extracted from the air

I can distinguish between the greenhouse effect, global warming and climate change

I can justify why helium balloons should/should not be allowed I can evaluate current attempts to prevent the effects of global warming and climate change

To understand the uses and effects of resources extracted from the Earth, oceans and living things

I can explain the environmental effects of resource depletion in the Earth, oceans and living things

I can evaluate banning recreational fishing as a way to ensure sustainability

To understand there is a range of science careers
