Lesson3 of 7 in this unit

Lesson Summary
In this activity students map the distribution and composition of litter in the school courtyards and grounds. Students work in groups to count the number of litter items across the school. Groups then come together to compile their information to create a complete picture of litter at your school.
Completing this litter audit gathers the baseline litter data for the school. This audit activity should be conducted again after some litter reduction activities have been put in place in the school, so that changes in the amount and location of litter can be measured and reported on.

- recognise that litter has many negative impacts for people and animals in the environment, and can have impacts far away from the school site.
- understand that reducing litter can have many benefits for the school community and the environment in general.
