The Anthropocene: Human Impact on the Environment
This interactive activity supports learners in exploring how human activities have reshaped Earth’s environment over time, introducing the concept of the Anthropocene. Using an online interactive map and data-rich graphs, students investigate major human impacts such as climate change, habitat loss, pollution and biodiversity decline, interpreting evidence to understand how ecosystems are changing.
Accompanied by a student worksheet and detailed teacher guidance, the resource encourages data analysis, critical thinking and prediction about how human impacts may shape the environment over the next century.
