Starter Key word: Resource – a resource is a stock or supply of something that has value or a purpose. The three most important resources are food, water and energy. In your book, list everything you ate, used water for (e.g. shower, washing up) and everything you used energy for (e.g. charging your mobile phone).

The global distribution of resources Lesson objective: Know how food, energy and water are significant for our well-being and identify how their distribution is uneven. WALT: To recognise the importance of food, water and energy. To recognise the importance of food, water and energy and how they contribute to economic and social well-being. To accurately describe the global inequalities in the supply and consumption of food, water and energy. Literacy objective: to use PEE. Keywords: resource, distribution, inequality

The resource game! Take your Smarties and divide them out evenly between your group. Your Smarties represent the world’s resources: Blue = water Yellow = energy Red = food Record how many of each colour you have at the beginning. Take it in turns to choose a card. Every time something happens to one of your resources, record your new amount of Smarties

For printing for the resource game The average calorie consumption in your country is 3,200 per person (about 14 Mars bars). You have got plenty of food and obesity is becoming a problem. Give one food to the country with the least. The World Health Organisation (WHO) suggests that we need 2000–2400 calories per day to be healthy. Over one billion people in the world fall below this level and are described as malnourished. The average consumption in your country is only 1,580 per person (about 7 Mars bars). Gain two foods from a country of your choice. Between 5-14% of your population is malnourished (they don’t get enough calories per day). Gain one food from a country of your choice. The percentage of malnourished people in your country is below 5% and because of this, your people are healthy and they are able to work to contribute to economic development. The amount of food you have stays the same. Your country uses 82% of its water for agriculture. You don’t have enough water (water scarcity), so choose the country with the most amount of water to give you one. Your country uses 75% of its water in industry, e.g. producing cakes and cars. Your country has water to spare, so give one water to the country with the least. Your country is mainly a desert and has very little water (physical water scarcity). Gain one water from the country with the most. Your country is a newly emerging economy (NEE) and has little or no water scarcity. Keep the same amount of water. Your country is developing quickly and needs more energy. Between 2003 and 2011, your country saw an increase of 53% in its consumption of energy. Choose the country with the most energy to give energy to you. Your country supplies much of the world’s energy, but its own consumption is relatively small. Give one energy to a country of your choice. The annual consumption of energy per person per year is between 75 – 149 British thermal units (Btu). This is quite high, but not as high as energy consumption in the USA, which uses between 250-400 Btu. You don’t produce enough energy yourself, gain two energy from a country of your choice. The world’s richest one billion people consume 50% of the world’s energy, while the poorest one billion consume only 4% of the world’s energy. You are a LIC and use less energy, so give one energy away to a country of your choice. For printing for the resource game

Using the cards Now try to group the cards together into 4 piles that might represent 4 different countries. Can you suggest the type of country being described by the cards, e.g. HIC / LIC / NEE. Can you name an example of this country? Examples: The UK Saudi Arabia China Niger

How did you do? Food The UK: The average calorie consumption in your country is 3,200 per person (about 14 Mars bars). You have got plenty of food and obesity is becoming a problem. Saudi Arabia: The percentage of malnourished people in your country is below 5% and because of this, your people are healthy and they are able to work to contribute to economic development. China: The percentage of malnourished population is moderately low, as it’s between 5-14%. Niger: The World Health Organisation (WHO) suggests that we need 2000–2400 calories per day to be healthy. Over one billion people in the world fall below this level and are described as malnourished. The average consumption in your country is only 1,580 per person (about 7 Mars bars). Water Your country uses 75% of its water in industry, e.g. producing cakes and cars. Your country has water to spare. Your country is mainly a desert and has very little water (physical water scarcity). Your country is a newly emerging economy (NEE) and has little or no water scarcity. Your country uses 82% of its water for agriculture. You don’t have enough water (water scarcity). Energy The annual consumption of energy per person per year is between 75 – 149 British thermal units (Btu). This is quite high, but not as high as energy consumption in the USA , which uses between 250-400 Btu. Your country supplies much of the world’s energy, but its own consumption is relatively small. Your country is developing quickly and needs more energy. Between 2003 and 2011, your country saw an increase of 53% in its consumption of energy. The world’s richest one billion people consume 50% of the world’s energy, while the poorest one billion consume only 4% of the world’s energy. You are a LIC and use less energy. Cards arranged according to the country being described

Answer the following questions in your book Remember to use PEE. How did the game make you feel? Why? Overall, which type of country do you think you might have been? A LIC, HIC or a NEE? Are our world’s resources evenly distributed? Use examples from the cards to support your answer. How might demand and access to resources change in the future? Reflection questions after the game

Plenary Look back at your list from the beginning of the lesson, what could you do to reduce the amount of resources you use?
