Geography & Government Types: Hitler's Olympics of 1936 (Includes PowerPoint)
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Following World War I, Germany was in economic, political, and physical ruins. In 1933, Adolf Hitler became Chancellor and began his quiet quest against anyone who was not Arian. In 1931, Germany was given the option of hosting the 1936 Olympics. Hilter, under his Nazi German totalitarian dictatorship government system, wasn't sure it was a good idea until he was convinced that they could build the largest stadium to be seen at the Olympics and make Germany look as if it was not in ruin. He agreed! The 1936 Olympics were different from the Olympics in the past. It incorporated theatre, high-tech equipment for the games, and wonderful production with a lot of rituals that would continue into the Olympic games after Hitler's Olympics.
Hitler kept the secret of his war against the Jews throughout the two weeks of the 1936 Olympics using propaganda to show the world how well Germany was doing; the world, however, had no idea whatwas in store for Germany and the Jews who lived within its borders.

CHINA GEOGRAPHY: ONE CHILD, TWO CHILD, THREE CHILD OR MORE, POPULATION POLICIES
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Your students will love this lesson, from 6th grade to 12th grade. The PowerPoint is included in the Zip File.
In 1980, China enforced the One-Child Policy Act to due to overpopulation issues as a result of Mao Zedong's policies, as he competed with Russia for power. Once he dies in 1979, China had to look at the population issues as there was a shortage of housing and resources— and they were continuing to multiply. Something had to be done, so the government enforce Martial Law and only allowed families to have one child.
(To examine in depth the One-Child Policy Act of 1979 under Mao Zedong's leadership, click here.)
However, now the One-Child Policy has created a downward shift in population, and as the older generation dies, the population is declining at significant rates. In 2016, to encourage population growth, China's government put in to play the Two-Child Policy pleading with its citizens, "Please have a second child". When that wasn't working, in 2021, they pass a Three-Child Policy.
This lesson examines and compares China's Child Policy Acts throughout the years and their effectiveness, also giving students the opportunity to provide their opinion of various scenarios.
OBJECTIVES:
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
GROUP READING ACTIVITY: (15-20 MINUTES)
Divide students into groups/teams of three. Give each team member an article to read:
DEBATING CHINA’S CHILD POLICIES CLASS ACTIVITY (POWERPOINT)
Students will be given various scenarios via PowerPoint to which they will "Agree" or "Disagree". They will work with their classmates to present reasons for their decision.

Geography and Science: Did China Slow the Earth? Three. Gorges Dam
By Geography & Math Made Easy
This geography and science lesson is intriguing and engaging! The construction of the Three Gorges Dam in China, the largest hydropower project in the world — that took 18 years to build and over 40,000 workers,—has sparked numerous controversies and debates regarding its impact on the environment.
One of the most intriguing claims is that the immense weight of the dam's reservoir has caused the rotation of the Earth to slow down. Some scientists argue that the shift in mass could potentially affect the Earth's rotation, while other scientists neglect the belief. The Earth's rotation is influenced by a multitude of factors, including natural processes such as earthquakes and the melting of polar ice caps, making it unlikely that the Three Gorges Dam alone could significantly slow down the planet. Students will work together to complete the Doodle Notes that go along with the PowerPoint presentation. Students will hypothesis whether the Three Gorges Dam has slowed the earth.
Note: This lesson supports the idea that the dam has slowed the earth's rotation and provides the scientific backing for it. Please feel free to modify this lesson to support one or the other side.
