What is it that you think we might be looking at in the picture? Is there a particular resource that is highlighted in the photo that the people are utilising? What resource are the people in the photograph using? How is this resource being used? Oxford Big Ideas Geography 7 – Environmental Resources p. 43 TWLH Chart Journal

Engage ⇒ Explore ⇒ Explain ⇒ Elaborate ⇒ Evaluate Geographical Concepts K & U Geographical Skills & Inquiry Place Space Interconnection Explain Resources Assessment Activity 12 – Water Use Compared with Volume of Rainfall Use Google Earth, Google Maps or aerial photos to look at where water is found and the differing rainfalls. How much of the world’s water is fresh water, available for our use? Is Australia water rich or water poor? What does this mean? How does your water situation compare with other parts of Australia? Use a study source (water map): World Mapper Which countries would you consider to be the most water rich? Which are the most water poor? Compare the freshwater resources of Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Now look at their rainfall volume versus their water use. Use the PQE method: Pattern – give a general overview of the pattern Quantity – Quantify your general overview using data TWLH Chart Journal Audit Charts Line graphs
