Thanks, Grace! Always important to incorporate #ATSI perspectives into our learning. Kreative Koala's is another site that focuses on AUS in regards to #SDG14. It uses art + #multimedia to inspire the younger gen to reflect and act at a local level. kreativekoalas.com.au/about/index.ht…

@Mr_Hancock_Uon @sdg14net To make it even more interesting, I found a video of a diver from another perspective. You could have students pretend they are the ones diving and seeing it through their own eyes. #SDG14 youtube.com/watch?v=qMD5cT…

@BrittHunt @sdg14net Absolutely agree! visual content demonstrates how real the problem is to children in an easier and more meaningful way! This is a great video.

I think #visual content like this video here is crucial when teaching + learning about #SDG14. To see the extent of #plasticpollution brings a sense of motivation to make change! @sdg14net The link below includes recent pollution news... #educ4750 theguardian.com/environment/po…

@joewillisss Thanks Joe, I think visual aids can help put the issue into perspective. I found this website that has an infographic about our plastic problem. #SDG14 visualcapitalist.com/ocean-plastic-…

@BrittHunt Awesome resource to put into perspective the harsh reality of the future of plastic pollution. This would be a great discussion point for students to not only visualise the impacts but discuss how we can make a difference, could be used in the introduction for the plan!

FISHING FOR PLASTIC? This is a great visual resource to use in your teaching of #SDG14. It could lead into a rich discussion about what could happen if we don't take action now? What are the consequences? How can we make a difference? #Educ4750

@MissEddie_Educ This is a great idea! Making it localised and relevant to the community will make it even more engaging for the students. Perhaps they could do an excursion where they pick up rubbish from local parks and tally their finds to figure out their Top10 in the area?

What a great idea @BrittHunt! Students could partake in their own experiment to view the #Top10 products in their local area. They could make targeted posters for the local community after the results are viewed. #UonTeach #Educ4750 #Sustainability #SDG14 #LifeBelowWater

@Miss_Jess_H I found a site that lists a range of activities to encourage recycling in the classroom. The one that stands out to me is the recycling rally where students can compete with other class's on who can recycle the most. Could be a good incentive! weareteachers.com/21-ideas-big-a…

This is also a great resource for teaching about #SDG12. Students can benefit from understanding how #recycling products and packaging goes hand-in-hand with consumption and production. What are some classroom activities we could use to encourage students to recycle? #uonteach

@joewillisss Great resource! @NatGeo shared various lesson ideas which would make engaging teaching and learning opportunities in regards to plastic pollution in our oceans nationalgeographic.org/media/teaching…

Just found this fantastic resource online that contains various interactive activities regarding taking action against plastic pollution. It also contains downloadable content for in-class worksheets to use in lessons! #UoNTeach #sdg14 exxpedition.com/8-games-activi…

@RattrayTia I found some interesting #timelapse videos that could support this idea! Additionally, could you do a term-long experiment where you compare a plastic product to something #biodegradable in regards to decomposition? youtube.com/watch?v=Qjzqa8…

#WWF states the alarming facts of #plasticpollution. How can we as teachers, help raise awareness of just how long plastic takes to decompose? Would it be beneficial for students to create solutions for the hardest to break down plastics? #Educ4750 #SDG14

@RattrayTia What clean up solutions are you considering? Have you looked at the @Take3fortheSea movement? It has an online learning program where teachers are given FREE resources! Check out more info here take3.org/programs/

The Clean Seas Campaign focuses on phasing out all single-use plastic in City-managed activities and events. In my unit of work, students will be supporting this organisation through developing #plastic clean up solutions for their local beach. #Educ4750 cleanseas.org/about

@RattrayTia I agree Tia, the 6 Thinking Hats will compliment the project in my unit as well. I found a proforma on @TwinklAustralia that allows students to fill in their ideas/thinking based on the hats! twinkl.com.au/resource/cfe-c…

The Six Thinking Hats is a great pedagogical tool I will implement to optimise the learning outcomes in my uow. e.g. Students could use the green hat to research solutions for #plasticpollution while the black hat investigates the difficulties behind this solution. #Educ4750

@Miss_Gascoigne De Bono's 6 thinking hats will compliment the project in my unit nicely! It gives students specific roles within their learning to lead to #creativesolutions. @TwinklAustralia has #writing frames that allow students to plan out their thinking/ideas on the basis of the hats!

I will be using De Bono’s 6 thinking hats in my unit plan to get students involved in their learning! This website provides some great templets to use in the classroom. #Educ4750 #uonteach storyboardthat.com/blog/e/six-thi…

@PBLWorks is a great process to #unite the #wholeschoolcommunity and bring learning alive. I will be using this focus in my unit to solve real world issues of #SDG14 and encourage the #4C's of #21stcenturylearners! What is your focus? pblworks.org/what-is-pbl/go…

@mauger_dylan You could use them in the classroom or even get into contact with the local council to see if students could present them around the area aswell! This would be exciting for students and creates real life connections. Thanks for sharing :)

I came across this creative sign in my home town. It’s great to see this around the community! We can use this example to recreate signs in the classroom to spread awareness of #SDG14 #UoNTeach #educ4750

#TerraCycle will then sort, shred, + melt the items down into plastic pellets to manufacture new products such as garden beds, park benches and even #playgrounds. For every kg sent, collectors will earn $1 towards the Australian school or #charity of their choice @TerraCycle

I researched and found 'Writing Instruments Recycling Program'. It is AUS based encourages schools to collect waste of used pens, markers + other writing tools to be recycled. You get a free shipping label when you fill a box/bin! #SDG14 #Educ4750 terracycle.com/en-AU/brigades…

@MissBrowningAU Great find! I researched and found 'Writing Instruments Recycling Program'. It is AUS based encourages schools to collect waste of used pens, markers + other writing tools to be recycled. You get a free shipping label when you fill a box/bin! terracycle.com/en-AU/brigades…

I saw this at Erina Fair shopping centre over the weekend and loved it! What is something schools can focus on? (obviously not coffee cups). Perhaps pens or markers? Let me know what you think! It could lead to a design project that links with Science&Tech KLA. #SDG14 #Educ4750

@TwinklAustralia has an #eBook available that follows the life of a plastic bag. Perfect #literature to support #SDG14 + has supporting resources that act as follow up activities! #plasticpollution #ocean #Educ4750 'A Place for Plastic' twinkl.com.au/resource/a-pla…

Just found this video that @LandersCurtis shared. Added relevance to children as it is focused on kids themselves taking action! youtube.com/watch?time_con…

LET'S BREAK FREE FROM PLASTIC This video is a powerful form of communication to inform people about the detrimental impacts of #plasticpollution in our oceans. youtube.com/watch?v=Yomf5p… Have you found any good videos around this issue? Please share below! #SDG14 #Educ4750

@teacher12111767 I've never thought of doing this- what an awesome idea! What a fun, engaging and memorable lesson that would be. Is this something that is affordable for schools? Or would it be something students needed to pay for? Thanks for sharing!

How incredible would it be to use drones in a unit of work? I would love my students to fly a drone over the #centralcoast waterways to detect areas in need of cleaning! #SDG6 #UoNTeach #Educ4750 Check out this website that can get you started! shemaps.com/classroom-dron…
