2040 - Talking About Transport
Lesson1 of 4 in this unit
PrimaryYear 5 - 6TechnologyDesign and TechnologiesEnvironmentalClimate ChangeSustainabilityEconomicIndustry, Innovation and Infrastructure
Lesson Summary
In this lesson, students will be immersed in and connect with the documentary film 2040, focusing on the topic of transport. Students begin by interviewing their peers about why we use transport and then work collaboratively to suggest the different types of transport we use. They then look at what types of transport might be available in the future and work in groups to generate ideas for future sustainable transport options.
Students select one idea to develop and create an annotated sketch of this idea to share with the class through a gallery walk.
To expand on and further embed student learning in this activity, consider following up with Taking Action For Your 2040.
We’ve taken elements of this lesson and adapted them for remote learning. You can find this activity here.
