This compelling lesson introduces students to the immense natural wealth that underpins much of Russia’s global influence. Learners explore Russia’s vast reserves of oil, gas and minerals, gaining an understanding of where these resources are found and why they are so valuable. Pupils then examine how extraction takes place in the harsh Siberian landscape, considering permafrost, remoteness, engineering challenges and environmental pressures. The lesson also guides students through an analysis of Russia’s pipeline networks, helping them understand how energy is transported across continents and how this shapes global trade and political relationships. Finally, learners evaluate the environmental and economic risks of resource dependency, thinking critically about pollution, climate impacts, fluctuating prices and geopolitical tensions. The resource includes in‑lesson tasks, peer‑talk opportunities, group‑discussion prompts, and a printable worksheet to support all learners. If this lesson supports your teaching, please consider leaving a review — it helps other teachers find high‑quality resources.
