The War on Waste unit is a comprehensive resource for teachers and students in Years 4 to 6. The lessons cover topics on waste disposal methods, the impact of waste on the environment, and actions that individuals and households can take to address waste issues. The activities involve hands-on experiments, group work, and communication projects to engage students in taking action to reduce the impact of waste on our environment. The lessons aim to support teachers and students in establishing a waste action team to monitor and improve their work in the long term.
