@Brookejarvie02 The worm farm will be integrated into #science where students will hypothesise worms roles in the environment, then do some group research using #ICT or #books, watch a video then conduct an experiment with soil, containers, food scraps and worms. https://t.co/E7VRQ6S2E8
@MissJoyTweets I love how you mentioned flowers too. It is so important to plant flowers, especially native ones for our wildlife and bees. Here is a guide for some beautiful native flowers to plant! https://t.co/1K2mvUITlS
@Brookejarvie02 Students having a deeper knowledge of their learning has so many benefits, these include retaining and transferring their learning as well as an increase in motivation to learn. This article explains deep knowledge in more detail.

@mccarter_chad Thanks for highlighting that Chad, collaborative learning acknowledges diversity, interpersonal development and builds on students confidence and communication. Students share more ideas when they are collaboratively learning than they do with the teacher so it's definitely good!
Students in small groups research using #ICT what fruits, vegetables and herbs can be grown in summer, autumn, winter and spring and creates a timeline around the classroom with each season and produce can be grown #visual#UoNTeach#Educ4750#SDG12

@LaurenG68654208 This poster is simple yet a great way to inform students that everyone plays a role in taking care of the planet. This one for #SDG3 is structured but simple enough to understand what each point is saying with its #illustrations https://t.co/Z9KJf9xEEx
@IsabellaCrowe5 I'll be definitely using these tips at home! Integrating #art into your #SDG12 unit by reusing plastic materials is a fun and creative way to educate your students on simple ways to reduce plastic in our waste bins.
@IsabellaCrowe5 This is an effective way to link personal experiences into learning, going through their lunchboxes as a class allows students to share ideas with each other. Next step would be to see what we could change in the canteen!
@IsabellaCrowe5 Hands on learning is always a great starting point to engaging students in their learning.
Here are some reasons why it's important to implement in the classroom

@AlyssaG98300150 It is a great feeling when the local council is acting on #SDG12. Spreading awareness to the broader community with a larger platform makes such a positive impact! It is also good to have these useful tips online to refer back to.
@MissBradford01 I love how this project can be created using #ICT or physically by #reusing recyclable materials to make their smart city. Very practical!
@MissBradford01 I definitely agree with you Makayla, I have organised some environmentalist teams within my classroom and their roles change every week so everyone has the opportunity to have a turn. My school loves public speaking so the topic of #SDG12 will definitely be addressed.
Sharing recipes and tips to cooking and eating #zerowaste in the community. I'd love to have a school fete where students use home or locally grown produce and make delicious food to sell, raising money for a vegetable garden/worm farm! #Educ4750#UoNTeach

@MissSha55479033 This website has a few classroom-based activities that you can implement in your classroom to educate students about the impacts of #bullying

A great way to get the students involved in the local community. Students write questions down prior to meeting with their local farmers that relate to #SDG12 and making their own school vegetable garden. Maybe the farmers can come visit the school too!
#UoNteach#Educ4750#SDG12
Take the time to head to your #local growers markers 🍓🌿🥕 This is a great way for teachers to #network & discuss the sustainable strategies used by local farmers. You can then take these methods back to your classroom & school garden! #UoNTeach#Educ4750#SDG12#schoolgarden
@mccarter_chad This would be a great poster to have in the classroom Chad. 21st century learning relies on ICT, makes you wonder how much of an impact we are having on the environment. Using resources such as books in the library instead of laptops frequently will reduce our energy consumption!
@LaurenG68654208 Thank you for this, it will be good to explore the different environments that are impacted by climate change and waste pollution. This website has a variety of kid friendly movies that create a discussion about sustainability. https://t.co/op6Pr8JUre
This is a decent review of The Lorax. Definitely sit your students down to read this book or watch the movie. It addresses one’s impact on the environment, complexities surrounding success and ambition, and taking responsibility. #visual#Educ4750#SDG12#UoNTeach
"...a good introduction for #children into the issues of #deforestation & the importance of #nature to our lives & #health."
I #review the film #TheLorax in this archive #blog, if you didn't catch it the first time, then this is your chance! #DrSeuss

@alex_talty This is a great way to implement visual learning into the classroom. Printing it out and hanging it up as a poster in the classroom will be a constant reminder for students why #SDG12 is so important.
