Race 2 Recycle
This activity aimed at primary learners, links to work explanatory texts and D & T by looking at the processes involved in the production, use and disposal of drinks cans. During the lesson opportunities also arise for discussing the environmental benefits of recycling steel and aluminium and the costs of wasting the materials. A second lesson asks children to design aluminium can crusher, linked to the need to reduce volume when transporting recycled materials to ensure costs and environmental factors do not outweigh the benefits of recycling. The resource provided by the Metal Packaging Manufacturers Association, (MPMA), may be used to help promote a whole school recycling scheme.
