The Impacts of Materials Extraction
Lesson7 of 10 in this unit
PrimaryYear 5 - 6TechnologyDesign and TechnologiesEconomicDesign ThinkingIndustry, Innovation and InfrastructureTechnology
Lesson Summary
Students explore a range of possible pipe materials and the impacts the extraction of these materials might have on our environment. They will compare and analyse these materials and make recommendations about which materials have the least impact in terms of extraction.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- determine the environmental impacts of extraction for materials that could be used in pipe design
- recognise extraction as a criteria by which to assess a material that could be used in a design
Success criteria
Students can:
- be familiar with a range of different materials for pipe design
- assess and compare the extraction impacts of these materials and made recommendations on the best materials to use for pipes
