PrimaryYear 5 - 6TechnologyDesign and TechnologiesEnvironmentalBiodiversityConservationOceansWater
Lesson Summary
This lesson incorporates clips from Blue The Film as learning inspiration. During this lesson, students learn about the significance of unsustainable fishing practices on our oceans. They begin by investigating the meaning of both sustainable and unsustainable, and work in groups to look at some of the unsustainable fishing practices currently in use. Students then take part in a group STEM innovation challenge to design a fishing device that reduces bycatch and protects our oceans.
