Assessment Earth and space sciences OUR RESOURCEFUL WORLD 1. Draw or write how we use each resource in our daily lives. sun air water soil minerals plants animals fossil fuels 2. Write the types of resources we get from each source. (a) farms (b) rivers (c) mines 3. Write tips for how we can be kinder to the environment by reducing, reusing and recycling waste. Include at least three tips in each column. Reduce Reuse Recycle © R.I.C. Publications Low resolution display copy 102 Science: A STEM APPROACH YEAR 2 978-1-925431-95-7 R.I.C.

Earth and space sciences OUR RESOURCEFUL WORLD STEM project STEM project overview Compost bin Students work in groups of 2–3 to design and create a miniature compost bin to show the school gardener how he/she can reuse waste materials from Earth’s natural resources to make a compost bin that will provide nutrients to the garden. Students then create a video explaining how a compost bin works and how the gardener will need to look after it. Concepts overview: Science • Apply knowledge of Earth’s resources and how reducing, reusing and recycling our waste can protect the environment for future generations. Technology/Engineering • Apply the design process to plan, create and evaluate a compost bin showing how food and garden waste, paper and cardboard can be reused. • Select appropriate materials and apply safety procedures while creating. • Create a digital video to explain to the school gardener how compost bins work and how to look after a compost bin. Mathematics • Use knowledge of halves and quarters to measure and add waste materials to the compost bin. • Use a calendar to record when waste materials need to be added to the compost bin and when it will need to be mixed for airation. Alternative project ideas: • In groups, students design and create a water filter using a recycled plastic bottle and Earth’s natural resources. Students take a digital photograph of each step and upload the photographs to a computer to create a step-by-step guide showing how to turn ground water into clean drinking water. The presentation must include students’ photographs and a written explanation of each step. See how to make the water filter at . • In pairs, students design and create equipment for an outdoor game or activity, using recycled materials. Suggestions include: traditional outdoor games, such as ring toss; real-life versions of digital games, such as Angry birds ; or enlarged versions of indoor games, such as Jenga . Students then create a video advertisement explaining why people should buy their game rather than a shop-bought game. © R.I.C. Publications Low resolution display copy R.I.C.
