Hosted by our expert educators, students will understand landfill as a problem that contributes to pollution and waste: a take-make-dispose model. Through identifying different waste materials, their long lasting effects on our environment, and the bins they belong in, students will develop skills to apply the “6 R’s” in their school community to move towards zero waste and resource recovery.
Through this interactive incursion your students will:
Years F – 6
- Build knowledge
- Students will discover why landfill, waste and pollution are problems for people and our planet and ways to move towards zero waste
- Foster connection
- Students will connect to Earths’ natural resources and natures’ cycles through nature connection exercises to inspire ideas and actions to move towards zero waste
- Action & Skills
- Students will learn new skills to guide them towards zero waste at school/home
- Conduct a waste and material auditing
- Sort materials and identify which bins the belong in
- Turn waste into a valuable resource by means of the 6 R’s Dance
You’ll receive a school teacher guide, including instructions for optional activities to do before and after the CERES incursion to get your students thinking, discussing and actively contributing to a world that is environmentally sustainable for all living creatures.
