Sustainability__** An integrated level 3 unit about sustainability that aims to increase students’ awareness about the importance of looking after the environment and show them what they can do to help. The project the students will undertake will be to set up and maintain a wiki site to inform the school community about what the school is doing to be sustainable and give them information and advice about what they can do at home. Students will be placed in teams to create their page with ‘newspaper’ roles decided by the class e.g. editor, photographer/artist, journalists/researchers. //Essential Question// How can I make a difference? //Unit Questions// Why do we need to look after the environment? How can we look after the environment? //Content Questions// What do people do to protect the environment? Where does water go? What happens to my rubbish? How can we reduce waste? What is our school doing to be sustainable? How can our school be more sustainable? What can I do at home to be sustainable?
