How does improper
disposal of wastage affect
living things?
For week three students will research
how improper disposal of waste affects
living things. Through reading books,
online research, or using several sites
provided to them they will then
present, as a group, their findings to
the class. Some of this information will
also be used in the final assembly
presentation.

Resources are provided for students

research on our webpage. A small
description is allocated for each link,
and links to other resources are also
provided.
Week Four: Using Recycled Products to
Create a Recycling Collage
Week Five: Presenting with Technology
The final product of the students research will be presented using technology (SmartBoard or Powerpoint)
as a presentation. This presentation will provide information to the rest of the school on how to Reduce,
Reuse and Recycle.

This five week cross curriculum unit doesn’t

need to end abruptly as there are many extension
activities that can be added to ‘round off’ the
unit. The extension activities that we have
included in our website include; an excursion to
a recycling centre or a waste treatment plant,
creating recycled paper crafts, and creating a
reflective blog along with a summary at the end
of the unit.
