Uneven Resources: A Global Mystery Quest

Grade Level:

Initial ideas

Driving Question or Challenge: How does uneven resource distribution affect people, communities, and countries — and what sustainable policies or actions can reduce conflict and support fair access? Real-world Context: Students investigate contemporary resource conflicts (e.g., transboundary water disputes, mine impacts on communities, oil access and extraction disputes). They'll examine human impacts, geopolitical stakes, economic drivers, and how past and ongoing geoscience processes created the resource patterns behind each conflict. In-depth Inquiry: Students choose a real-world case, research geological origins of the resource (formation, location, renewability), map where and why the resource is concentrated, analyze historical and current human use and policy, and evaluate competing claims and interests. Inquiry requires primary/secondary sources, maps, data (production, consumption, population), and interviews or expert statements when possible.
