Teaching Outlines
Concept # 1 Familiarising with the story of formation of Kolar Gold Fields in Kolar and thereby identifying Gold as a natural resource
Learning objectives
- To understand how a natural resource is being identified for commercial uses
- To understand the methods of obtaining the resource in its crude form
- To understand how an ecosystem is 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 a 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
- Estimated Time: 1 unit of class time
- 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 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.
- Multimedia resources
- Website interactives/ links/ simulations
- Process (How to do the activity)
- Developmental Questions (What discussion questions):
- In what form is gold available on earth?
- How do we get gold from the mine?
- How much time and labour does it take?
- What are the issues with gold mining? Will it affect the living things around?
- Is gold exhaustible and can it be renewed?
- Can gold mines be found everywhere?
- What are the conditions where gold is available on earth?
- Evaluation (Questions for assessment of the child)
- Question Corner

Concept # 2 Natural resources and habitat
Learning objectives
To understand the relationship between a natural resource (species) and its habitat
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 A discussion with students about Coorg oranges
- Estimated Time: 1 class unit
- Materials/ Resources needed: Book,pen
- Prerequisites/Instructions, if any:It will be useful to understand the ecological or environmental factors of Coorg which makes the oranges unique in its own way. Also, the specialty of the oranges, how is an ecosystem formed to produce and market the oranges, issues faced by the farmers, plan to grow Nagpur oranges etc.
- Multimedia resources
- Website interactives/ links/ simulations
- Process (How to do the activity)
- Developmental Questions (What discussion questions):
- What is special about Coorg and its environmental factors which make Coorg oranges different?
- What is the specialty of Coorg oranges?
- Can Coorg oranges be grown in other regions? If then what kind of regions could they be grown?
- Evaluation (Questions for assessment of the child)
