Peru oil spill pollutes Amazon rivers used by indigenous group  BBC

Concepts of Thinking: Spatial Significance, Interrelationships, Geographic Perspective

Inquiry: Why might oil exploration in such sensitive areas have been approved? Who  might be responsible for this spill, the workers? the companies? the consumers? How might this be thoroughly cleaned up?

Activity: Collect data on the spatial significance of the area, plot where it happened, add human activity in the area. Create buffers to determine how far the spill might impact and make predictions.Complete an issue analysis of the problem to determine a possible solution. Communicate predictions and solution in a story map.
