Sustainable Living (KS 1 and 2)

1 kit available

This kit is designed to support a cross-curricular approach to teaching and learning about some of the main issues related to sustainable living.

The Four Seasons Fruit and Vegetable Stall aims to raise pupils' awareness of the environmental impact of the food they eat and includes resources for them to 'grow their own'.

There are also 3 copies of the game 'Norfolk's Fine Foods' to help pupils appreciate how many different types of food are grown locally.

The kit also includes 10 sets of 'Global Steps' cards - a simple game designed to help pupils estimate their personal ecological footprint and explore their impact on the environment as well as 3 copies of the game'What's Rubbish' to help them learn more about recycling.

There is a solar photovoltaic kit to demonstrate how solar power can be used to make a light, buzzer and fan work.

Cosy Cottage is a specially adapted dolls' house with a heater to enable pupils to investigate the ways in which heat is lost from a house and to compare different types of insulation. A LogIT datalogger is also supplied for measuring and recording temperature changes.

Finally there are 2 copies of the CABE 'Green Day' booklet which contains excellent suggetions for running a cross-curricular event focussing on sustainable living and climate change. All activities are supported by detailed teachers' notes.
