2040 - Shaping a Sustainable Future

These resources are part of the 2040 Film Education Resources created in collaboration with our partners GoodThing Productions and Regen Studios.

This Years 7 - 10 Science unit, Shaping a Sustainable Future, has been designed to

• immerse students in the documentary film 2040 and its positive sustainability messages
• develop critical thinking skills around climate change solutions and renewable energy
• enhance collaborative research capabilities through group investigations and presentations
• foster understanding of food chains, food webs and marine ecosystems
• encourage students to create their own 2040 vision for their community
• empower students to design and implement social action projects
• build scientific literacy through creating posters, infographics and presentations.

Through these lessons, students will discover that solutions to climate change already exist and develop the knowledge and skills to take positive action in their own communities for a more sustainable future.
