Lesson Summary
Students will investigate the production and recycling of aluminium using deodorant cans as a context. They will investigate the costs of manufacturing aluminium from raw materials and compare these to recycling figures. Students will identify relationships showing direct proportion and use relevant formulas to calculate values related to aluminium production and carbon emissions.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- understand the impact of recycling aluminium
- recognise directly proportional quantities
- be able to apply direct proportion formulas to solve problems related to the production of aluminium from raw and recycled materials
Success criteria
Students can:
- recall proper recycling methods for metals
- recognise proportional relationships
- solve for the proportionality constant, k, using formulas and aluminium production values
- calculate the bauxite requirements and carbon emissions using direct proportion formulas
