Lesson Summary
In this lesson, students design a dream car and create an artwork to represent their ideas that will be submitted to the Toyota Dream Car Art Contest. This contest encourages and inspires creative expression and imagination in students – some amazing ideas are born from dreams! Students will explore what is meant by the term ‘natural resources’. They will investigate why we need these resources and how we can use fewer resources. Students will analyse a range of resources using a ‘See, Think, Wonder’ thinking routine designed to make students think more deeply about where some of the things we use come from and how we can look after these resources. Students will design a dream car that looks after natural resources both now and in the future.
