Roots & Shoots - Animals, People & Environment

In this lesson, students will explore the big challenges facing our world, such as climate change caused by the release of carbon and the abundance of waste. They will note the interconnectedness of people, animals and nature and consider the impact of the choices that all people make. Students will then focus on the context of plastic as an example of the devastating effect the choices people make can have on both animals and the environment, as well as our own future generations. They will explore how plastic is formed, what we use it for and where it goes once we have finished with it.
