The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Europe: Natural Resources and the Environment:
Overview In this experience, students review the countries of Europe and then explore the climate and some of the important natural resources of the continent. Next, students get an overview on environmental threats in Europe and work in small groups to research and report on a specific problem. Finally, students take a look at the role that young people can play in preserving natural resources and the environment. In scene 3, students will work together in small groups. Although this experience can stand alone, it works best with the Europe: Geographic Passport experience, which introduces students to the geography of Europe. Objectives:
With about fifty countries in Europe, you can assume that there are also many climates and natural resources. In this experience, you will learn about these climates and natural resources, as well as threats to these resources.
Objectives:
Europe is made up of about fifty countries. That’s too many countries to remember in your head. But it’s important to know as many as you can—and to have a general sense of where they are located.

You may notice some countries that you have never heard of—or whose names you have never heard pronounced.Write down the name of one of those countries.
Practice saying some of the names of countries that might be a challenge for students to pronounce. Model the pronunciation and ask students to repeat after you. Then ask them to point to the country on the map above. Countries that might be a pronunciation challenge may include:
