Students use a map to show locations where their school is connected to the storm water at ground level. They collect data about what polluting substances might be carried along with rain into the storm water system.

This lesson is designed for a flipped classroom, where students learn new content by watching a video in their own time. This strategy provides the opportunity for students to build their knowledge, attitudes and values by themselves, thereby freeing up class time for hands-on work. Students watch a clip that helps them to understand ecosystem ecology.

In this activity students work as a class to make a nature map of their school. Students take a walk around the school looking for signs of nature, drawing and taking notes about what they see and reporting back their findings to the class. They then create a new map that shows all the features of biodiversity they found in their school yard.

In this lesson, students first explore a range of renewable energy sources and their value. They then engage in an outdoor game in which they revise terms relating to key sources of renewable energy. Finally, they reflect upon sources of renewable energy that could be useful in their own community.

This activity is designed to get children connecting with nature; experiencing the health and developmental benefits of connecting with the earth and messy play. They will experience sand, soil and mud through their senses, manipulating it in a range of ways.

Students watch a clip that helps them to understand how Antarctic research can help scientists to understand climate change.

In this lesson students identify questions of interest and find ways of obtaining information about energy. They present the information they have gathered to the class and explore information found by others.

In this lesson, students go outside to observe natural sources of energy. They analyse the energy they use in their day to day life and think about the energy source.

In this lesson students think about and discuss features of animals and the relevance of these features to ensuring the survival of the animal. They then create their own animals, describing and illustrating their features and developing a written description of their traits. This lesson draws on skills from Science, Visual Arts and English as students develop knowledge of living things, drawing skills and engage in descriptive writing.

Students are introduced to potential solutions to our energy issues. Working in groups they evaluate a range of renewable energy technologies and formulate an independent opinion about whether this type of energy is viable.

In this lesson, students learn the difference between native and introduced species of plants and animals. They explore different ways they can protect native plants and animals as well as their pets and gardens.

This activity is designed to encourage children to grow their own vegetables and enjoy the fruits of their labour. Children will discover that the food you grow yourself can look very different to that which you buy at the supermarket and can also have a different flavour.

The K-W-H-L thinking tool can be used throughout a lesson or unit. It serves as an aid to ensure a student’s interest is catered to and helps to determine what needs to be taught. The chart is introduced at the beginning of the topic, and can only be completed once a student have finished their investigation of the topic. The chart can also be used as an assessment tool. This thinking tool can be integrated into a number of subject areas as the focus is on developing general capabilities and 21st century skills. Students will be able to represent and communicate ideas and findings in a variety of ways.
