A reading pack for the OCR A Level Geography Paper 3: Geographical Debates Disease Dilemmas topic. This set of handouts covers the content of Section 5: Can diseases ever be fully eradicated? In particular, it includes content to cover the following parts of the specification:
Nature has provided medicines to treat disease for thousands of years.
• Medicines from nature, their habitats and conditions for growth including the influence of soil type and climate.
• Case study of one medicinal plant, such as rosy periwinkle and opium poppy, including their growing conditions, international trade, medicinal importance for disease and sustainable use.
• Conservation issues relating to the international trade in medicinal plants such as endangering species survival, erosion of genetic diversity, threats to the survival of natural ecosystems.
The case study of a medicinal plant is opium poppy - there is also specific reference made to opium production in Afghanistan, as this was the case study used in the Paper 2 Human Rights topic of an area of conflict as so students are encouraged to make synoptic links. This resource is also published on TES.
The handouts are easy to use, with photos, maps and graphs incorporated in the text. Evaluative comments and synoptic links, essential for the top grades, are also included throughout.
