Exhibition Research – Key Concepts Form What is it like?
Define: state the problem
Function How does it work?
Explain: What does endangered mean? How does a car fuel system work? What is deforestation? What is electricity in the home? How does it work? What does reduce, reuse, recycle mean?
Tell: What kind of endangered categories are there? What do they mean? What are the alternatives? How do they work? What is the effect of deforestation?
Causation Why is it like it is?
Tell: the actions What causes deforestation? What have people done that has endangered animals? We choose fossil fuels to power our cars – which ones? We choose fossil fuels for heating – which ones?
Explain: the consequences What are the consequences of these choices? Who or what does it affect? (the environment, animals, people…) How does it affect the environment/animals/people?
Change How is it changing?
Tell: What it was like before and what it is like now
Explain: Why this is a good/bad thing.
Connection How is it connected to other things?
Explain: Why our choices and actions matter. If we make this choice and take this action, how is it connected to other systems? What effect does it have? Life cycles, food webs, the effect of pollution, the weather cycle, global warming,
PerspectiveWhat are the points of view?
Imagine What it’s like to be a tiger/wild horse/frog/organutan … losing your habitat … Be the human voice of your endangered species.
Argue from the different points of view – zoos are necessary for conservation – animals should be assisted to survive in the wild – everyone should have to use hybrid cars – we should all reduce, reuse, recycle
