Sharing+the+Planet

THEME:SHARING THE PLANET An inquiry into rights and responsibilities in the struggle to share finite resources with other people and with other living things; communities and the relationships within and between them; access to equal opportunities; peace and conflict resolution.



TOPIC: Earth's Resources

CENTRAL IDEA : All living things depend on Earth's Resources Lines of inquiry:

**Some things are living, some are non-living **
 * Many of our resources come from living things **
 * Humans depend on natural resources **

Ask yourself these questions:

What do living things need to survive? How does agriculture give us what we need? How can we protect Earth's resources?

What will we be learning?
