Carbon Cycle Conundrum - English and Science
Courses Description
Head of Pathway: Ms L. Neveling.
A hot topic in the media at the moment is “climate change”. Experts and governments from around the world have met and discussed this issue, resulting in commitments to changing the way we live. During this module we will take a deep dive into two methods of positive environmental change: food waste recycling and wetland protection. In a combination of Science and English, you will explore stories, movies and videos about climate change and express your viewpoints about this global issue.
We are all global citizens. Therefore we have a responsibility to implement these changes but first to be able to do so willingly, we have to understand WHY these changes are necessary. Once we understand the issues, we can use our voices to inspire others to take action as well.
