Check out the new WasteSorted Schools Food Waste curriculum guide. This Year 5 cross-curricula unit is aligned to the WA curriculum and contains lessons for HASS, Maths, English and Science. These lessons can be taught independently or together as a complete unit of work. Using an inquiry-based and integrated approach to learning, students explore the issues of food waste at home and at school. As an assessment option in English, students will create a food waste cookbook to educate their school community about what they have learned.
