In particular they look at the town of Jabiru and the challenges to its future, as its economy is reliant on extracting finite resources underneath it!

Food in Australia - Food Technology
Look no further!!!
This highly visual booklet of 34 pages is a resource that will have your students understanding and working on the topic of Food in (and from) Australia. Some of the topics covered include Bush Tucker, European influence on food, economic factors, historical summary of food in Australia, Influences on food selection, food habits and the evolution of Australian cuisine. To make sure that all the information that you are talking about is correct and to save you valuable time.
I have included the answer booklet as well!
In addition to all of the above, there is also a survey for students to take home and do with their families so they can include numeracy into this unit with data and graphing of results. This was done as an assessable task.
Please don’t think that this is just a Q+A type workbook. There is a range of visual opportunities for students to show understanding, cloze passage activites, online research, survey, links to online films to answer questions about.
For those in NSW this unit is built around the Focus Area of Food in Australia and covers the outcomes:
5.3.2 justifies food choices by analysing the factors that influence eating habits 5.5.1 selects and employs appropriate techniques and equipment for a variety of food-specific purposes
5.5.2 plans, prepares, presents and evaluates food solutions for specific purposes
5.6.1 examines the relationship between food, technology, and society
Assessing arguments: Population in Australia
There are two sheets: one presents 9 arguments for increasing the population of Australia and the other presents those for reducing it. The arguments are numbered and those sharing the same number are counter- arguments.
Students should do the activity in pairs.
They would first look at the two 'number 1' arguments. they would discuss their relative merits and then share 5 marks between them. (e.g. if the 'for' argument is strongly supported, but the 'against' argument has some merit, they might give 4 to the former and 1 to the latter)
At the end of the exercise they will add up the total number of marks for each side (remember, the total of the two sides should be 45).
By the end of the activity the students will have reached a conclusion and have a range of arguments they could use in a written analysis of the question.
Economies of Scale - GCSE Economics - Internal & External Economies of Scale - PPT & Worksheets
This detailed lesson helps students fully understand economies of scale. The lesson starts with a fun ‘How Big’ starter worksheet - this is where students have to guess the different sizes of large companies (answers included). The lesson then looks at how large companies can benefit from economies of scale.
The lesson covers the economies of scale diagram and how average costs fall as production increases. The lesson also looks at the clear difference between internal and external economies of scale. I have focused many tasks throughout this lesson that helps students fully understand the concept of economies of scale.
The lesson also looks at diseconomies of scale in a lot of detail. I have also provided a great task based on Mega Dairies in the UK and how they hope to benefit from economies of scale - this includes a number of great video clips and an excellent worksheet that could be used in a group activity. This lesson could easily stretch across 2-3 hours of teaching.
A great lesson which would be perfect for GCSE Economics and also useful for A-Level.

GCSE Economics Revision Packs: The UK Economy & Globalisation - Exam Style Questions & Revision OCR
Every year OCR GCSE Economics release a stimulus material that will be used in the The UK Economy & Globalisation exam (50% of final grade). Over the last three years I have dissected the stimulus material and added my own theory behind the evidence, quotes, graphs and figures.

Some of my packs include student copies - these are slimmed down versions of the main revision packs. Each pack includes a screenshot of the key figures from the stimulus material, keywords and theory and exam style questions. Please see below for a full list of each pack:
