Kinder Surprise

(4)
There is a lesson/topic outline. This was designed as a stand alone activity as part of an environment day but it could be used in conjunction with a Climate Change topic. The idea is that something as simple as a Kinder Egg requires resources to be obtained from all over the world, massive amounts of processing and transportation as well. All of which means that the final product has a large carbon footprint. The final piece of work produced can be either a wall sized flow chart using the pictures and facts or a poster.
