This term our inquiry unit for Just Do It! is Upcycling. As part of this unit we will be:
- Investigating the concept of rubbish and how it can be reduced, reused, recycled and upcycled.
- Visiting the York Valley Landfill
- Visiting the Nelson Recycle Centre
Some of the big ideas we are going to explore are:
- Where does rubbish come from?
- What happens to the rubbish we put in the rubbish bin? Recycling bin?
- What are the different properties of the items we throw away or recycle?
- How else could these items be used?
- Could these items be reinvented into something else that is useful?
- How is upcycling different from recycling?
- Why it is important to reduce, reuse, recycle and upcyle rubbish?
