Lord Howe Island - People Power

Students explore the human impacts on the environment of Lord Howe Island. They begin by thinking about the impacts humans can have on our environment and the actions we can take to address these challenges. They then look at the specific problems of climate change and plastic waste and how they apply to Lord Howe Island by reading a text about these issues and sharing their learning with a peer. They then work collaboratively to conduct research into personal actions we can all take to meet these challenges and create labels about these actions. These labels can then be incorporated into a 3D model of an island (if students have completed previous lessons in this unit this can be their own island; if they haven’t completed previous lessons, they will make a model of Lord Howe Island and incorporate these labels into their model).
