b) A practical activity in the classroom.

Rules:

1) A wall in the classroom – you can not move away from the wall, you must always stay right next to the wall. Physical land is fixed.

2) At one end of the wall a desk with a pile of raw-material-paper (or text books).

3) At the other end of the wall a desk. This is where the paper is manufactured into end-of-wall paper once it has been transferred from the other side to this desk.

4) Only one piece of paper can be carried by a worker at a time.

5) We will add more and more workers, but since no-one can move away from the wall, they can not pass each other.

6) Each production cycle (period of time) lasts one minute only.

7) All workers recognise the profit-maximising incentive of working to full ability, and behave accordingly. (No slacking …)

6) First volunteer up. Results will be recorded on a Google Spreadsheet. Access the one below and make a copy of it in your Google Account.

c) Make sure you have thoroughly discussed the graphs – what is happening? Why do they have these shapes?

d) Research (text book and / or web) the definitions of, behaviour of and relationship between the following as the one factor of production (labour) is increased:

• total output [total product]
• average output [average product]
• marginal output [marginal product]

Key phrase: diminishing returns (define and be precise about the full phrase)

Your ultimate aim is to be able to identify the 3 curves below and explain them:

e) Review your understanding of the above with the following videos:

You need to choose one of these groups who are using the Amazon rainforest in some way:

a) Amazon indians (e.g. Kayapo Indians)

b) Miners of Iron Ore (e.g. at the Carajas Iron Ore Mine)

c) New Settlers (also known as colonists or colinistas tehse are farmers who were given land by the government this happened a lot ion the 1980s)

d) Cattle Ranchers

e) Conservation Groups

f) The Government responsible for Transport (e.g. the Trans-Amazonian Highway)

g) Loggers

h) The Government responsible for Energy (e.g. new Hydro Electric Power Stations)

Your mission is to create a truly awesome slideshow with an absolute maximum of three slides and a minuimum of one slide to explain:

1) How these people are using the rainforest and why they use it this way.

2) Examples of where these people are using the rainforest and for how  long – maps / satellite images would obviously help

2) Difficulties this might have caused

3) Possible solutions for the future

The slideshow has to be very visual with images, facts and figures – you are using the slideshow software to its full potential. We are not interested in text heavy information. This will be shown at the start of a lesson. You can include hyperlinks to websites if people want to learn more.

Obviously you will need to research this thoroughly, and the internet is an obvious resource.
