curricula links
Each of our games and exhibits have specific key educational messages and curricula links. These are briefly summarised as follows. More detailed information is provided during the pre-visit meeting with teachers.

Environmental Bike -Key Educational Message Simple Actions can make a difference to our environmental impacts |
|
Environmental Bike - Curricula Links Technology – Level 2 – technology reflects changes in society and environment and increases human capability Maths and Statistics – Level 2 and 3 Statistical Investigation and Measurement – conducting investigations, using linear scales Science – Level 3 and 4 – Investigating and Communicating plus physical enquiry and concepts |
|
Environmental Footprint - Key Educational Message Simple Actions can make a difference to our environmental impacts. An “Environmental Footprint” is a simple way of expressing how much impact each individual has on planet earth We are all living in a way which is over-consuming the earth’s resources (water, energy and materials) and over-polluting the land, water and air – in other words our footprints are too big. This is not sustainable and the next generations will not experience the same quality of life that we have. |

Geckos and Vines - Key Educational Message We are surrounded by very special plants and animals and many of these are in danger of becoming extinct because of our actions. We need to look after them. Simple Actions can make a difference to our environmental impacts |

E-Waste - Key Educational Message Life in modern society creates a lot of waste; much of this waste can be recycled, but some of it is very dangerous and must be disposed of safely. We need to take responsibility for the whole lifespan of the technology that we enjoy. |
