Exploring the themes of 2040 (UK)
In this lesson, students will be immersed in and connect with the documentary film 2040. Students begin by clarifying the key terms used in the 2040 documentary. They then work in groups to investigate some of the challenges for our future as identified in the documentary (including energy, transport, and food production). Students undertake research into their assigned challenge and then share their findings with the class. They then work in groups to brainstorm solutions to their challenge. Finally, students are invited to watch and reflect on the 2040 documentary film.
1hrs
Tuning into the documentary (7-11, UK)
In this lesson, students will be immersed in and connect with the documentary film 2040 – it is a great lesson to conduct before watching the documentary in full.
1hr 4mins
Reducing our carbon footprint (UK)
In this lesson, students will investigate the measurement of CO2 as outputs per individual and household, in terms of kilograms of CO2 per annum. They will examine the carbon footprint of average Australians in comparison to the world average and to countries such as Bangladesh, as featured in a clip from 2040. Students will then engage in some mathematical problem solving by seeking to maximise their ‘household’ carbon savings given a set of constraints. This lesson can be used by students to extend on learning covered in 2040 – The Maths of Carbon – 5 & 6.
1hr 3mins
Talking about transport (UK)
In this lesson, students will be immersed in and connect with the documentary film 2040, focusing on the topic of transport. Students interview their peers about why we use transport and then look at what types of transport might be available in the future. Working in groups, they brainstorm ideas for future sustainable transport options. Students select one idea to develop and create an annotated sketch of this idea to share with the class through a gallery walk.
1hr 40mins
Finding out about food (UK)
In this lesson, students will be immersed in and connect with the documentary film 2040, focusing on the topic of food. Students begin by thinking about where our food comes from, and then work in groups to explore some of the big issues relating to food, including waste, packaging, transport, farming, and healthy eating. Students undertake research into a big issue and then explore some of the solutions to these big issues, sharing what they have learnt through a presentation.
3hrs 30mins
Taking action for your 2040 (UK)
In this lesson, students will be immersed in and connect with the documentary film 2040, focusing on actions they can take that have positive benefits both now and in the future. Students look at examples of young people who have taken action through social and environmental projects. They then choose a topic they are concerned about, and design, plan and implement a project to get their community involved in taking action on the topic. Social Action Lessons will have students taking what they have learned in previous lessons and engaging others to join The Regeneration.
1hr 5mins
The maths of carbon
In this lesson, students will view a clip from 2040 and examine data related to CO2 in the atmosphere.
1hrs
Energy and liveability (US)
In this lesson, students will be immersed in, and connect with, the documentary film 2040, focusing on the topics of energy and liveability. Students will explore their understanding of liveability, thinking about how energy and our environment relate to liveability. They will work collaboratively to conduct research into the impacts of fossil fuels on our environment, explore a sustainable energy case study, and then work in groups to compare electricity produced from coal and solar.
2hrs 31mins
Exploring the themes of 2040 (US)
In this lesson, students will be immersed in and connect with the documentary film 2040. Students begin by clarifying the key terms used in the 2040 documentary. They then work in groups to investigate some of the challenges we face as identified in the documentary (including energy, transport, and food production). They work in groups to brainstorm solutions to these challenges and are then are invited to watch and reflect on the 2040 documentary film.
2hrs 57mins
Sustainable transport and scatterplots (US)
In this lesson, students will view excerpts from 2040 then access and evaluate statistical reports in the media and other places about sustainable transportation of the future, and they will use the data to construct scatter plots, make comparisons and draw conclusions.
2hrs 19mins
Girls for the planet (US)
In this lesson, students will investigate the environmental benefits that arise from empowering women and girls. They will access statistics about the education of women and represent this data using back-to-back stem and leaf plots and histograms.They will also undertake an action that will inform the school community about what they have learned or how they can support the empowerment and education of girls around the world.
2hrs 30mins
The seaweed solution (US)
In this lesson, students will access information about seaweed farming and greenhouse gas emissions and use percentages, ratios, and fractions to solve problems. Students will also investigate the relationship between seaweed farming, the health benefits of eating seaweed and climate change. They will use this information to develop an infographic that uses numbers to convince their peers to eat more seaweed.
