A mystery activity looking at the impacts of globalisation on people and the environment. Students read information about pollution of a river in Tongxin, China. They identify the causes of the pollution and effects of the pollution and link this to the production of iPhones in local factories. They should then answer the question: Is Apple responsible for the river in Tongxin turning black? There is a mark scheme available to help them develop their responses and use for teacher, peer or self assessment.
