Shrinking World Resource Poster
Stage 6
Chemistry Syllabus: 1.5.1.2.1discuss the issues associated with shrinking world resources with regard to one identified natural product that is not a fossil fuel, identifying the replacement materials used and/or current research in place to find a replacement for the named material
1.5.1.3.1identify data, gather and process information to identify and discuss the issues associated with the increased need for a natural resource that is not a fossil fuel and evaluate the progress currently being made to solve the problems identified

The geocube site is a good basis for students studying HSC chemistry to find a shrinking world resource to study. It provides various shrinking resources from a variety of areas. The information is succinct and easy to comprehend. Furthermore. glogster allows students to exercise their creativity while still learning the content. the poster creation website lets users layer their posters with various elements such as videos and images.
Activity: Students work in groups to create a multimedia poster on glogster
Student will first be asked to read the geocube link and summarise the information in their groups and using the geocube website as a starting point students choose one shrinking world resource to make the poster on, making sure they cover:

- identification of the shrinking resource
- issues associated with the shrinking resource
- one synthetic substitute or replacement materials used or current research to find a replacement
- properties that make the substitute suitable
- photos or diagrams to supplement written information
- optional: related video
