Overview

In this lesson, students will be immersed in, and connect with 2040, focusing on the topics of transport and liveability. Students begin by participating in a warm-up activity around their personal transport use before investigating liveability and the factors of liveability that are important to them. 

They then participate in a THINK PAIR SHARE routine and a role-play activity to explore transport in terms of liveability and our environment. Students then think about how future transport could be designed to improve liveability. 

Learning intentions:

  • Students will understand what liveability is
  • Students will understand how transport affects our environment
  • Students will understand the relationship between transport choices and liveability
