@MissRLittle @Brayden07339463 Students can get a better hands-on learning experience through outdoor learning. For my professional placements, I have seen the difference in engagement when having a lesson outside compared to inside.

@Brayden07339463 I really like this idea of outdoor learning. Not only is it therapeutic to be in nature, but it definitely forces us to consider our impact on the world. Great connects to #sdg12 too!

Anne Dolan (2015).Shows in-depth that children participating in outdoor learning can see the nature of the natural world through interactions with each other and the planet while also promoting #sustainability and #21stcentuarylearning.What are your thoughts? #educ4750 #UoNTeach

@HelenaEcimovic @BronteDavis3 I agree! Within my unit, there is a big community project in which I have decided that critical and creative thinking is one of the best suited general capabilities for the students.
English
@BronteDavis3 This is great!! When organising a community based project I think these are two very important skills the students will need
English
I will be focusing on Critical and Creative Thinking and Literacy when learning about #SDG14 and #Sustainability. I believe with these capabilities in action, students are encouraged to think creatively about appropriate courses of action. #SDG14 #UoNTeach

Bunnings is a resourceful place for schools to use initiative and create things such as garden beds for students. Bunnings will supply materials so that this can be started and hands on learning can be achieved. #educ4750 #UoNTeach bunnings.com.au/?gclid=CjwKCAj…

@Tull1Amy @Rebekah18336751 This idea could even be used as a fundraiser at the school. For example the Year 6 formal. Thye could set up a system throughout the year and raise money for their events.
English
@Rebekah18336751 Such a fun way for students to understand the whole process of recycling and how it works! They are helping save the planet and getting some pocket money at the same time.
English
@millee_ann2022 This idea links well with play-based learning. Students are able to get that hands-on learning that they love!

"Meaningful learning experiences transform space into place and help children develop a sense of place and identity" (Dolan, 2016). The attached document highlights how outdoor learning can help to create these meaningful learning experiences. #UoNTeach #educ4750

How cool would it be to have an art show planned to include all local schools! The theme would be recycling and all schools would be able to create artworks out of recycled goods and then placed them on display for the community to see!
#UoNTeach #educ4750
Reaghan Ghys@ReaghanGhys
What a great creative arts activity, I will be incorporating artwork like this into my #educ4750 unit! Students can utilise recycled materials and collaboratively create the artwork. Will you be incorporating creative arts into your unit plan? If so, how? #UoNTeach

@Mitchel48981334 My unit is placing a big importance on recycling and how this simple task can create a butterfly effect on saving our waters. I think is also important for students to learn why the oceans are important to us and our survival.
English
@ReaghanGhys This could lead to either a class debate, one side is proposing the ideas and the other side is the government. Or could lead to a persuasive writing lesson.
English
What a great teaching opportunity! Students could collaborate to create a plan in class with their peers and approach the local city council with their ideas of how to clean up our local beaches! I will be incorporating tasks like this into my unit plan. #UoNTeach #educ4750

💡 If your class could present a proposal to your local government with ideas on how to clean up or maintain local rivers or oceans what would be your first suggestion? teachersfirst.com/xw1w.cfm #XW1W-M #MiddleSchool #SocialStudies #SDG14

term 1 is the perfect time to implement this slogan around the schools to help with correct recycling. Students can then go home and teach their families the slogan

GATHER! SCRUNCH! POP! Great advice here from East Waste about aluminium, if we recycle it correctly we can save 95% of the energy required to produce it! Ensure you dispose your egg wrappers properly this Easter! What do you think? @NathanA49263875 #EDUC4750 #UoNTeach #SDG12

@_nellieconnolly This is amazing! can also link to SDG14 to help reduce plastic pollution.

My Favourite Cousin is a lovely Newcastle based small business, that makes amazing bees wax wraps! Perfect for school and work lunches! What a great way to reduce soft plastic waste! #educ4750 #UonTeach #SDG12

ICT is one of my general capabilities within my unit plan. Students love scratch and will make such a fun and engaging lesson!

ICT lesson! Great way to engage the students with a scratch lesson on coding! Giving the students a sense of belonging and ownership is key for change in todays society! #UoNTeach #SDG14

@MrHansen96 @ACARAeduau critical and creative thinking is one of my general capabilities, this format makes it a lot easier to identify where my students will need to be aiming and can help create success criteria through the unit of work. thanks for sharing!
English
Looking to integrate #criticalandcreativethinking as a #generalcapability? Check out this doc from @ACARAeduau (australiancurriculum.edu.au/media/1072/gen…)! It breaks down the skills that students can display - I'll be looking at Level 3 skills in my unit on #SDG15. #UoNTeach #educ4750

My unit of work will include an integration of science. The approach to science will be hands-on and engaging to students as this strongly links with play-based learning. If you want to learn more about hands on science just follow this article:

Reducing inequality is one of the first things you learn as a pre-service teacher. This report places evidence on how play-based learning has the potential to reduce inequality within a classroom.

@earutherford01 visual learning plays such an important role within the classroom. This idea accommodates Gardner's Multiple Intelligences.

This could lead to students practising persuasive writing within the classroom. Could even lead to a group activity in which they create a persuasive letter together to send to Nestle.

Only 1% of #Nestlé’s packaging is reusable💧 This is a drop in the ocean of their plastic waste. Today they are meeting for their shareholder meeting✏️ TAKE ACTION, tell @Nestle to be better & commit to 50% reuse & refill by 2030!>> act.gp/3sWBTpj #BreakFreeFromPlastic

@MissRCoops it is so amazing to see so many free resources that are helping teachers participate in achieving SDGs!

@MissWolfe00 Thanks for sharing Ella. I will definitely have a look on this website when creating my unit. Have you looked at the World's Largest Lesson? They also have some great classroom resources. Hope it helps! worldslargestlesson.globalgoals.org

Only a short video, however, contains a wide range of facts and information on plastic pollution. This video could potentially be used when students conduct a research project in line with #SDG14.

@coast4c helps local fishing communities in the Philippines learn how to farm and sell seaweed; a vital ingredient in food and cosmetics as well as bioplastics. This helps them become more resilient to climate change, restore the marine ecosystem and lock carbon in the ocean.
