Overview

In this lesson, students will be immersed in, and connect with 2040, focusing on the topics of food security. Students begin this lesson by looking at a range of future foods and thinking about why these foods will be popular in the future before being introduced to the topic of food security and working in pairs to clarify key terms around this topic.

Students then work in groups to participate in a jigsaw activity to share their research on key factors relating to food security. They then work collaboratively to develop an idea for ensuring food security for their community into the future and present their ideas to the class.

Learning intentions:

  • recognise a range of proposed solutions to the potential future food security crisis

Success criteria:

  • work independently and collaboratively
