Quick Ideas for Using the Video:
- Use the video in conjunction with a class activity that has students conduct a waste audit in the school building. What are the current recycling strategies being used? What additional reduce, reuse, recycle options could they suggest. Extend student study or offer an enrichment/independent project for students looking into the options and costs of such a change and presenting a proposal to the class, building principal, or other “real world” audience.
- Use the video in conjunction with a STEM activity where students design a “green” building of their own.
- Use the video in conjunction with student study (independent or as a class) on “green” trends in businesses.
