Research Lesson: Learning about Cambodia's Landmine Problem

For: Junior high school, High school ｜Approx. 50 min

A learning program for a 50-minute class that uses this site to research, in order: history, the current state of landmines, clearance activities, and what you can do.

Aim: Students learn not to leave the landmine problem as just a sad story, but to sum it up in their own words — from its causes (history) to today's efforts (clearance and support) — using information with cited sources.

Inquiry Lesson: What Technology Can Do for Peace

For: High school, University ｜Approx. 100 min

An inquiry-based learning program that researches the technologies supporting demining — detection dogs, detection rats, and Japanese-made detectors and robots — and thinks about technology and peace.

Aim: Students learn to compare the strengths and challenges of the technologies used in demining, and to consider how technology can help achieve peace, including its limits.

You can check the meaning of terms in the glossary. For the conditions of use in classes and teaching materials, see About this site.
