outcome of zero waste.
Outcome development and
evaluation: Is there less waste?
Litter Survey
Pg 383
Planning for practice: Develop a
plan to collect information about
types of litter around the school.
Brief Development: Explain what a
litter free school would look like.
Outcome development and
evaluation: Take action to reduce
waste and decide if it has been
effective.
Technological modelling:
Collect Litter information from a
class walk represent findings’ on a
simple bird’s eye view map of the
school. (Different coloured stickers
to represent different types of
litter.)

Design a Zero Wate campaign.Plan
and implement up a schoolwide
system others to follow. EG:
sorting waste into colour coded
boxes, finding ways to reuse waste
such as composting systems.
Decide how it will be promoted in
the school. Revisit and review
planning.
Brief development: Explain the
attributes of a zero waste school
and why it is important.
Outcome development and
evaluation: Is there less waste in
the school? Conduct a waste audit
and use the Measuring Change
resource to monitor progress.

Planning for practice: Design a Zero
Waste campaign. Find out about
any past school systems and how
effective these have been.
Research what others have done.

Technological Products:
Characteristics of technology:
Find out what the raw materials
are from common products that
become waste. ) e.g. bottles glass
cans, plastic. Are they renewable
or biodegradable? Are they fit for
purpose and are there more
environmentally friendly options
available?
Find out about efforts to clean up the
chemical dump in Mapua ,NZ,or
efforts to clean the Manukau harbour,
how new technology makes this
possible and which technological
processes have been used.
