We are starting a new Inquiry in our classroom, this will continue on for the next 10 or so weeks.
Big Questions
Will our planet be here for your Grandchildren?
What can we do to create a sustainable future for our world?
Key Concepts and Understandings
What do we hope students will understand by the end of this unit? What transferable, robust, ‘big ideas’ will they gain? What is important and relevant for these students?
• Our impact on the environment can be positive or negative – Choices that we make.
• All the resources we have are all the resources we’ve got.
• We can learn from our past to sustain our future.
• The choices we make will have a negative or positive influence on the earth.
We are going to try and and be Zero Wasters (ZW) for short, and save the world from ecological waste
Have a visit of these websites Room 8 and tell me what you think of them.
