Year 9 students have been exploring climate change-resistant housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UN Environment program has found that “accounting for 38 per cent of total global energy-related CO2 emissions, the construction industry will play an important role in achieving our goal to limit global warming to well below 2\u00b0C. According to some estimates, investing in more resilient infrastructure could also save humanity a whopping $4.2 trillion from climate change damages.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This activity saw Year 9 students working on climate change-resistant housing that will be subjected to cyclonic conditions to see how the structures hold up. Students were only allowed to use plasticine, spaghetti, paper and sticky tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
