You make an excellent point @ally_crossley. There is so much children fear about climate change. We need to instead empower our children through thoughtful and engaging lessons that provide children with real life actions that they themselves can do. #UoNTeach#SDGs#EDUC4750

Students are anxious about climate change. Some environmentalists insist the world will end without drastic change! Instead of causing fear, Teach students about sustainable lifestyles and the difference they can make as individuals. #EDUC4750
An awesome resource to empower young students to make a difference. Curriculum aligned lesson plans that enable students to take action to improve their area for people, animals & the environment #UoNTeach#SDG13@Roots_Shoots#sustainability

Bee wax wraps are a great way to cut down on #plastics and be a little bit more #environmentallyresponsible. Making them in the classroom would be a great activity for students, if they can't be made there are plenty of places to buy them > https://t.co/zQvIfvuwLv

Trees in Newcastle and Landcare can advise plant selection and suitability. They also provide the plants. National Parks and Wildlife services run a program for schools called WilderQuest which teaches native plants and Aboriginal connections to the land.#UoNTeach
I am wanting to create a Native Australian garden for a school project, with traditional plants, some for eating, some for medicine and some that are nice to look at. Any ideas of plants I could incorporate? #UoNTeach#AboriginalandTorresStraitIslander
This would make an excellent inquiry focus for student led investigations. Students can take their inquiries in many directions. Creative and collaborative thinking #UoNTeach#EDUC4750#SDG6. How would you use this in the classroom? @RyanBaartz .
What if I told you one third of all primary schools worldwide lacked basic drinking water and sanitation. What can we do to help? check out the @SustDev report to gain more valuable information in this area. #UoNTeach#cleanwaterandsanitation#sdg6#EDUC4750
A beautiful book to support students to think critically about the repercussions of deforestation and the animals that depend on trees and forests for their habitat #UONTeach#SDG13@OurInheritance1 Check out via @Scholastic https://t.co/bw6conOyld #Book
A lovely story recognising the important role trees play in our lives, and caring for the world in which we live. Great for ES1/S1 to broaden childrenβs perspectives on the positive effects of trees on our planet. #SDG13#UONTeach@LGartonScanlon#sustainability
@JohnCronin98 this resource encompasses many of the Sustainable Development Goals. Would be perfect to link to various KLA's and encourage action in the school and community. Great find! #SDGs#UONTeach@TurningGreenOrg
Such a simple way for students to practice responsible consumption and recycling in their schools! Composting is not only a great way to educate students about #SDG12, but also helps promote a greener and sustainable school environment. #UoNTeach#EDUC4750
Turning Green is a global student-led movement cultivating a healthy, just, thriving planet through environmental education, advocacy and leadership. Could be used to incorporate many of the Sustainable Development Goals into your teaching #SDGs#UONTeach@TurningGreenOrg
A program for students that connects KLA's including Science & Technology, Geography, History and HSIE and can engage the larger school community #SDG13#CrossCurriculumPrioritiesNSW#UONTeach#sustainability

I love how a lot of the ideas proposed for EDUC4750 units of work are tasks that students can take what they have learnt from the school environment and adapt and implement into the home environment.#experentiallearning#EDUC4750#UoNTeach
@SamWardUon Schools can even set the program up so students, their families and friends can take their recycling to collection points themselves and nominate the school via the payment machine to receive the profits. #recycling#sdg12#responsibleconsumption.
A great initiative, students can collect bottles and cans from home, the money earned can contribute to many things around school, including a school community garden whilst limiting waste. #UoNTeach
@Lucy67555999 this would be a useful resource to prompt a discussion regarding #sustainability#wormfarms#repurposingwaste#composting. Aligns well with your proposed unit. Can you envision using this resource to do a think, pair, share to brainstorm student ideas? #uonteach
What a great discussion to have with your class! A great way to get kids engaging with their critical and creative thinking skills on new words surrounding the topic of #sustainability β»οΈπ. #UoNTeach#reducewaste
Lake Macquarie City Council run the Teralba Worm Farm and Waste Education Centre. cA fabulous resource where schools can visit to learn about the vermicast worms produce and how to create and care for their own worm farms at school. #Educ4750#UoNTeach
