Hi everyone, have you ever had a situation where your pupils cannot get full marks for research because they have limited understanding of the moral and social impact on society. Please find a number of slides with animations. You will need a clicker to go through the slides. What I have done is make sure my pupils have covered with understanding the impact of using softwoods, hardwoods and manufactured boards as well as the implications of using plastics. It is important that pupils take notes, then for homework write up their notes in their own words and interpretation. Never allow them to directly copy from the PowerPoint. It is necessary for them to develop their own understanding and to expand from the slides. For example they could find out the alternatives instead of using synthetics plastics. How wood fibres are recycled to create manufactured boards or how reclaimed timbers are made to look new.
