Concept # 1 Gold as a natural resource
Learning objectives
- To understand how a natural resource is identified for commercial uses
- To understand how gold is obtained from the mines
- To understand how an ecosystem gets modified by the process of gold mining
- To understand the idea of depletion of a natural resource caused by extensive extraction of the resource
- To understand gold as an exhaustible and non renewable resource
- To understand the environmental and ecosystem issues with gold mining
Notes for teachers
These are short notes that the teacher wants to share about the concept, any locally relevant information, specific instructions on what kind of methodology used and common misconceptions/mistakes.
Activity No # 1 Familiarising with the story of Kolar Gold Fields
- Estimated Time: 1 class unit
- Materials/ Resources needed: Book,pen
- Prerequisites/Instructions, if any:It will be helpful if the teacher has good understanding of Kolar gold fields, how and in what context it was formed, how is the mining being done, how the district ecosystem changed as mining started and the associated economic changes, environmental and ecosystem issue of gold mining etc. She could go through the articles published on the issues of KGF mining and how it was closed down on Economic and Political weekly. The documentary ‘ After the Gold’ by Janaki Nair is worth watching for this purpose.
