ACTDEK001 Introduction Resources

 Begin lesson watching ‘A Whale’s Tale’
 Graffiti wall of what we have learnt so far
 Move into project groups for rest of
lesson
Body
 Groups will used provided website to
research/investigate products already
made to help minimise marine pollution
(students can record note in a
collaborative form of their choosing i.e.
collaborative digital sharing platform,
share document etc.)
 Groups will begin generating own ideas
for products to aid in minimising marine
pollution. Groups will need to consider
- What their product will be
- How it will tackle issue of minimising
water pollution
- Cost/funding required
- Practical application of their product
 Individually students will need to
