Technology Achievement objectives- /Zero Waste theme area.L1-4

Level 1 -None

→AO: Children will: / Technological Practice / Technological Knowledge / Nature of Technology
It’s in the bag.
Pg 380 / Discuss and decide which items can be recycled, reduced or reused. Set up a system in the classroom for others to follow. EG: sorting waste into colour coded boxes.
Litter Survey
Pg 383 / Technological modelling:
Collect Litter information from a class walk and and teacher model how to represent locations of litter found on a simple bird’s eye view map of the school,

Level 2

→AO: Children will: / Technological Practice / Technological Knowledge / Nature of Technology
It’s in the bag.
Pg 380 / Planning for practice: Discuss and decide which items can be recycled, reduced or reused. Set up a system in the classroom for others to follow. EG: sorting waste into colour coded boxes.
Brief development: Explain the outcome of zero waste.
Outcome development and evaluation: Is there less waste?
Litter Survey
Pg 383 / Planning for practice: Develop a plan to collect information about types of litter around the school.
Brief Development: Explain what a litter free school would look like.
Outcome development and evaluation: Take action to reduce waste and decide if it has been effective. / Technological modelling:
Collect Litter information from a class walk represent findings’ on a simple bird’s eye view map of the school. (Different coloured stickers to represent different types of litter.)
Listen
Pg 391#6 / Technological Products:
Find out what the raw materials are from common products that become waste. ) e.g. bottles glass cans, plastic. Are they renewable or biodegradable?

Level 3

→AO: Students will: / Technological Practice / Technological Knowledge / Nature of Technology
It’s in the bag.
Pg 380 / Planning for practice: Discuss and decide which items can be recycled, reduced or reused. Design a Zero Wate campaign.Plan and implement up a schoolwide system others to follow. EG: sorting waste into colour coded boxes, finding ways to reuse waste such as composting systems. Decide how it will be promoted in the school. Revisit and review planning.
Brief development: Explain the attributes of a zero waste school and why it is important.
Outcome development and evaluation: Is there less waste in the school? Conduct a waste audit and use the Measuring Change resource to monitor progress.
Litter Survey
Pg 383 / Planning for practice: Develop a plan to collect information about types of litter around the school.
Brief Development: Explain what a litter free school would look like and plan how this maybe achieved.
Outcome development and evaluation: Take action to reduce litter and decide if it has been effective. / Technological modelling:
Collect Litter information from a class walk around the school and graph and represent findings’ on a map of the school. (Decide on the best way to show information , use of key etc-)
Listen
Pg 391#2,3,4,5,
6. / Technological Products:
Find out what the raw materials are from common products that become waste. ) e.g. bottles glass cans, plastic. Are they renewable or biodegradable? Which are made locally and where are others from? Place source on a world map. / Characteristics of technology:
Find out about efforts to clean up the chemical dump in Mapua , NZ and how it happened in the first place. (Changing attitudes and education about toxicity.) Was it a success?
Find out about landfills and industrial waste and design features planned to protect the environment.

Level 4

→AO: Students will: / Technological Practice / Technological Knowledge / Nature of Technology
It’s in the bag.
Pg 380 / Planning for practice: Design a Zero Waste campaign. Find out about any past school systems and how effective these have been. Research what others have done. Plan and implement up a schoolwide system for others to follow. EG: finding ways to reuse waste such as composting systems. Decide how it will be promoted in the school. Revisit and review planning.
Brief development: Explain the attributes of a zero waste school and why it is important. Link to information gathered in the litter survey.
Outcome development and evaluation: Is there less waste in the school? Conduct a waste audit and use the Measuring Change resource to monitor progress. Interview key staff to assess if had an environmental and financial impact. / Technological products; Investigate innovative ways in which ‘waste’ materials have been reused and recycled by being manipulated and transformed.
Litter Survey
Pg 383 / Planning for practice: Develop a plan to collect information about types of litter around the school.
Brief Development: Explain what a litter free school would look like and plan how this maybe achieved.
Outcome development and evaluation: Take action to reduce litter and evaluate effectiveness.
Listen
Pg 391#4,5,
6. / Technological Products:
Find out what the raw materials are from common products that become waste. ) e.g. bottles glass cans, plastic. Are they renewable or biodegradable? Are they fit for purpose and are there more environmentally friendly options available? / Characteristics of technology:
Find out about efforts to clean up the chemical dump in Mapua ,NZ,or efforts to clean the Manukau harbour, how new technology makes this possible and which technological processes have been used.
