A Lake on the Edge: The Future of Lake Naivasha

Here's an index to each of the short films about Lake Naivasha on YouTube. They are all around 5-6 minutes duration.

Part 1: The Heart of the Lake.

Part 2: The Aliens Are Coming!

Part 3: People and Pollution.

Part 4: What Can We Do?

Part 5: Our Planet Earth.

A Lake on the Edge: The Future of Lake Naivasha, Part 1

This is the first of a series of short videos we are planning to use for our project. The original film was written by Dr. David Harper, an ecologist at the University of Leicester with around 25 years experience in Kenya.

The whole of the series is now available on YouTube, see the 'playlist'.

Further learning materials are currently being evaluated, such as a simple computer model of Lake Naivasha and a game based upon this.

Our intention is that all these materials will form part of a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) scenario, something which we have some expertise in at the University of Leicester.

I hope you enjoy the videos - please do leave comments on YouTube!

Cheers,

Tim

"Very likely"

So we are probably contributing to Global Warming through our combined effects upon the planet since Industrialisation according to the IPCC.

There's a nice piece on the BBC website by a lady from the MET Office about computer models.
