Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- Learners watch pictures and videos on how to sustain the environment, including separating waste.
- Engage learners in groups to mention the types of waste they produce in the home and at school, e.g. paper, rubber, bottles, etc.
- Write learners' ideas on the board and let them brainstorm on what will happen if the wastes they produce are not separated.
- Evaluate learners by asking them to perform individual tasks, e.g. by writing down four practical ways of sustaining the environment.
Project: Design Litterbins to hold different forms of waste. Learners make or mould litterbins and other equipment from suitable materials for holding different types of waste.
