Teaching Materials
Positives
- This resource is easy to use and allows students to explore specific countries or continents.
- The color coding makes the graphs easy to see and the graphs can be downloaded as images.
Additional Prerequisites
- Students should be familiar with the terms import, export, and trade.
- Students should know how to read a line graph and a world map.
Differentiation
- Connections can be made with social studies, economics, or geography classes when discussing the availability of natural resources in different countries, the impacts of trade on resource exploitation rates and local populations, and other costs of global trade.
- Economics or social studies classes can use this data to discuss the benefits and drawbacks of globalization, development, and population growth.
- This does not take into account other greenhouse gasses, so it might be interesting for students to also look at total greenhouse gas emissions for various countries using this data explorer.
