Overview

In this lesson, students will be immersed in and connect with 2040, focusing on the topic of transport. Students begin by interviewing their peers about why we use transport and then work collaboratively to suggest the different types of transport we use. They then look at what types of transport might be available in the future and work in groups to generate ideas for future sustainable transport options.

Students select one idea to develop and create an annotated sketch of this idea to share with the class through a gallery walk.

Learning intentions:

Students will...

  • understand some of the ways we need and use transport
  • understand that we should be trying to seek out more sustainable transport options, both now and in the future

Success criteria:

Students can...

  • conduct short interviews
  • assess the sustainability of some transport options
  • generate design ideas using criteria
  • work independently and collaboratively
  • participate in class and group discussion
