Year 9 Connected Curricula
Our very creative Year 9s presented their ideas in groups for their Connected Curricula project on Friday, as they address the program’s theme of “The wonder and awe of planet earth”. The ideas are still in the developmental stage but plenty of thought and energy are going in to the projects:
- energy used – solar panels, rainwater guttering, venting to maximise cool air floor, light coloured roofing, solar panels slightly suspended off the roof
- energy and creativity used to create a brighter future
- using a game to teach people leadership skills
- population & climate issues – possibly using mars
- water filter implemented into Chinese factories
- documentary on how poor people are affected the most but contribute the least
- droughts and floods are combated by an organisation that looks at the human rights aspect of it
- Aussie agriculture, improving sustainability – bio chart
- agriculture – Lego animation video
- plastic recycling – creating new stickers a new system in which people can recycle
- sustainability living impacts, Minecraft interactive video
- ocean pollution – researching hemp plastic, fishing nets out of the material
- sustainable aboriginal farming techniques – sustainability – implementation
- endangered native Aussie bees – keeping biodiversity, establishing bee hotel
- education about bushfires, a board game – how people’s decisions affect the climate
- clothes in landfills – video about awareness about clothing that reaches landfills
- micro plastics – how they affect oceans aquatic life negatively, music video and rap – education
- chemical pollution in the oceans, creating an animation on how chemicals affect the environment
- solar and wind powered train, reducing electrical waste and sound
- carbon emissions by transport – sound tech to create levitating, info commercial
- alternatives to car engines, making a model solar car, creating a video
- emissions from automobiles, hydrogen powered cars, info commercial or video
- plastic in the ocean eaten by animals, plastic replacement materials, to dissolve in water make a prototype
- environment to maintain sustainability, burning fossils, 3d model to create prototype of filtering water
- lack of civil water infrastructure in Africa and south east Asia, water filtering – investigating all the different techs
- animal population, creating IVF machine, making a video on it
- urban growth, 3d model of futuristic city for all cities world wide
- repurposing plastic in the ocean to make long lasting oats and island, game and whiteboard animation
- sewerage management, environmentally sustainable sewerage system to implement into slum, model and video
- recycling plastics and micro plastics, recycled plastics to create bricks for housing, presenting it ted talk style
- electrical waste, de centralisation of power, solutions to this
- increasing number of species extinct – clinging dead species, negatives and positives, explored in video
- cities create so much pollution so looking into little solutions that cities can go under
- sustainable tiny house solution to people displaced by bushfires
