On Friday we launched our ‘It all starts with us’ #environmentaljustice project. Parklands College #ParklandsCollege Gr5 Ss are challenged to learn all they can about mining and human impact before developing an active channel for #studentvoive and #ActiveCitizenship #pbl inspired by #GretaThurnberg

Today the Parklands College #ParklandsCollege Gr5s are challenged to interpret an experiment focused on the impact of #polluted water on #biodiversity. Our simulation consists of red ‘polluted’ water from a tailings dam and brown muddy water from a freshwater dam. Let’s see what they come up with 🤞🏼

Ss observe and interpret an experiment focused on the absorption of toxins in polluted water. Paired with a case study on tailings dams this sections of our #pbl unit focuses on the environmental impact of mining Parklands College #ParklandsCollege #EnvironmentalJustice #ActiveCitizenship
