Managing Our Natural Wealth

📖 The Scoop

First four critical thinking challenges introduce Canada℗s natural resources. Students find two important resources in their homes. In planning a trip across Canada, students plot latitude and longitude coordinates learning the names and locations of provinces and territories, capital cities, and the most valuable resources in each area. Students decide which resource industries Canada should further develop. The final challenges focus on forestry, fishing, and mining in B.C. Students determine differences between past and current resource development in B.C. Students learn of problems facing each industry and propose solutions that are environmentally and economically sound. Making use of their research of harvesting methods, students take part in a simulation where they decide how best to manage B.C.℗s resource industries.
