Name of resource: Environmental Stress and Aggression
Submitted by: Aidan Sammons
Specification details: AQA-A
Other specifications: Edexcel, OCR (environmental)
Guidance: I precede this activity with one in which the students attempt to 
make notes from a handout pasted high up on one wall, with the heat turned right up
and music blasting out (Test Dept and Alien Sex Fiend work particularly well, although
anything obnoxious would work and the US army swears by the Barney the Dinosaur
song).  Once they have been sufficiently crowded, overheated and deafened, we have a short
discussion about how they felt during the activity.

Following on from this, the students are divided into small research group and each
has to produce a handout on one environmental stressor.  Direct them to relevant resources, 
the articles on environmental stress on the website could be a start.
