Sustainability
TLF ID A005375
Use this sequence of 5 lessons to connect the cross-curriculum priority of Sustainability with Number, Measurement and Statistics. Helping us see the connection between our everyday actions and the larger environmental impact is important for sustainable use of resources. Use the context of water use to learn about the units of measurement for capacity and how to convert between them. Understanding how much water we use in common household activities helps us become more aware of our consumption, which is critical in a world where water is a finite (limited) resource. Students undertake a statistical investigation to answer the inquiry question, ‘Does using less water make a difference?’
