Beschreibung
In this course, your students will explore how humans impact the planet, using the example of our impact on birds, “today’s dinosaurs.” They will learn that humans can have both negative and positive effects on nature and create their own positive impact by coming up with imaginative solutions to related real-world challenges.
The course is organized around the latest scientific understanding of human impact and threats to biodiversity and is informed Lego expert content partner the Natural History Museum in London and Tring, UK. Sessions focus on three key areas of negative human impact, and the solutions humans are working on to address these challenges:
- Habitat Loss
- Water Pollution
- Light and Noise Pollution.
Note that the course directly impacts several areas identified in the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals—the framework used by schools worldwide.
Learning through Play is at the heart of every session, with playful hands-on activities exploring the course’s topics. They are designed to work with any creative materials you have available. LEGO® bricks are not required but can be used if you have some lying around.
