Lesson7 of 8 in this unit
PrimaryFoundationYear 1 - 2ScienceHumanities and Social SciencesGeographyThe ArtsEnvironmentalSustainability
Lesson Summary
Students investigate the types of waste they use in the classroom and at home. They then analyse where this waste comes from and where it will go. Students are introduced to the 4Rs, and will focus specifically on the issue of ‘Reuse’ by making a waste colour wheel. Students will first make a colour wheel, and then will have one week to collect waste materials of different colours to add to their colour wheel. Finally, they reflect on the importance of reducing waste, and consider other ways of reusing waste in art projects.
