GRADE 2 TEACHER, SUSTAINABILITY LEAD INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

In module 1, SoR communicates complex ideas about plastic in a way that is clear, accessible, and engaging for young learners.

His non-judgemental teaching style creates space for students to think critically and form their own opinions.

By encouraging them to question the objects around them and consider their necessity and end of life, the resources support a meaningful shift in mindset and helps students build a more thoughtful relationship with materials

The Plastic Story is a wonderfully engaging and informative module that captures students' attention from the start. It clearly explains where plastic comes from, taking learners on a fascinating journey from ancient ocean life to modern-day materials. The visuals are bright and creative, making complex processes like oil formation and plastic production easy for students to understand.

The video keeps a great pace and stays clear and to the point, making it ideal for classroom use. By the end, students are motivated to think critically about waste and their own role as “Waste Detectives.” Overall, The Plastic Story is a creative and well-designed learning resource that makes a big impact in a short time.
