All Caught Up

This online resource looks at environmental sustainability.

The resource introduces students to the difficulties fishermen experience while trying to target individual species.

Commercial fishing nets often trap "unprofitable" animals in the process of catching target species. In this activity, students experience the difficulty that fishermen experience while trying to isolate a target species when a variety of sea animals are found in the area of interest.

The story of a river

This downloadable resource shows mankind's effect on a river.

The resource is a MS Word document that has been adapted from a more complex story to be relatable to younger students. It is the story of a clean river as it flows downstream past farmland, hobby farmers, industry, and demonstrates how these activities contribute to pollution and waste.

Waste Matters - Global Education

In this series of activities students investigate waste creation and management.

The students investigate this issue through their own experiences and case studies.

They develop key understandings about the pressures on the environment, ecosystems and people’s health that are caused by waste, and explore ways of improving waste management to help build a sustainable future.
