Clean Up Australia - Getting Involved with Your Community
Lesson2 of 18 in this unit
SecondaryYear 7 - 10Humanities and Social SciencesGeographyEnvironmentalRecyclingSustainabilitySocialSocial Action
Lesson Summary
Students will plan for and participate in Schools Clean Up Day (or a clean up on any other day of the year!).
In groups, students will choose a site within their local community or school and plan for how their school/local community could conduct a Clean Up Day. Students will collect data on what they find during the Clean Up and, from this data, will determine some possible solutions to any rubbish problems they uncover. Alternatively, you may want to organise Schools Clean Up Day yourself and then get students to complete an analysis of the results.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- explore how community involvement helps protect the environment by planning and participating in a Schools Clean Up day
- reflect on how waste affects nature nearby and suggest ways to manage waste better in their local community.
Success criteria
Students can:
- describe the impacts of litter on waste in the environment and local communities
- plan and participate in their Schools Clean Up event
- evaluate the effectiveness of their efforts by analysing the types and quantities of trash collected and proposing recommendations for reducing waste in the future.
