What a Waste: A 5 Day Challenge Activity

Recently, students read an article on global food waste called "What a Waste". Click here for the student handout.

The Challenge: Over a period of 5 days, students are challenged to do something to reduce global food waste.

Challenge Dates: The challenge should run for 5 consecutive days and be completed by Wednesday, October 12th.
Today, students researched and brainstormed their questions and now it is time to plan and execute.

*Please note that this is a small inquiry activity, not a major project. Have fun with it and respect the deadlines! This project is linked to our Science, Language arts and Social Studies learning outcomes.

Guidelines:
What is your question?
(my example was: What would be the impact of using a ceramic mug instead of a paper cup each day when I have coffee?)
What will your action be? Will you need any materials?
How will you measure the impact, success of your actions? What about the failures?
How will you record your challenge results?
How will you share your findings? (Poster, video, blog post, chart)

Presentations: will begin on Thursday, October 13 and the following Tuesday, October 18th.
