Insulation in the home
Pupils begin by researching insulation or watching a small video (plenty on Youtube), the second task is to discuss way in which a house can lose heat (open windows, damage and leading to poor insulation), the main task is list ideas to reduce heat loss, looking at main areas of the house where heat is lost. The plenary allowed pupils to discuss houses of the future and how they need to be built to reduce heat loss. The lesson could also be guided to show eco friendly ideas.
