- Children need to have a reasonable knowledge if the recycling process. They will have needed to listen at the recycling centre to gain a lot of this information. - The children need to be willing to share their own ideas and accept others ideas to work together as a class.
 * Lesson: Lesson eight**
 * Description of Lesson:** Follow up to recycling trip and flow diagram
 * Lesson Aim:** Teacher will ask children what they learnt about the recycling centre-brainstorm. This will then be sorted by the children into a step by step guide to recycling, outlining the key processes that are involved in recycling.
 * Lesson Outcome:** Children will explain how different resources are recycled in a step by step process.
 * Prerequisites:**

- Smart Board - Information and clip art of the different activities that occur throughout the recycling process. - Work sheet or children’s books to complete this activity individually as well as together as a class.
 * Materials and Resources:**

Ø What parts of the recycling process did you observe at the recycling centre? Ø What other parts of the recycling process have we learnt about? Ø Why do you think it goes in this particular order? Ø Why does each of these activities have to occur?
 * Guiding questions for this lesson:**


 * Lesson Outline and procedure:**
 * 1.** Teacher will begin a brief discussion with the children surrounding what they did and learnt on the trip the previous day.
 * 2.** Teacher will show children the photos taken and discuss what is happening in each of these photos.
 * 3.** Teacher will begin a brainstorm with the children on the smart board asking the children what different processes are involved in the recycling process. Teacher will encourage all children to be accepting of others ideas.
 * 4.** Using these ideas, the teacher will work with the students to sort these into the most important parts of the process.
 * 5.** The children will then be required to put these into order of how they think they occur. Children will each have a turn at coming up and putting what they think comes next in the process and explaining to the class why.
 * 6.** Teacher and class will make a final decision on the most appropriate order of the recycling process.
 * 7.** Students will then be required to work in pairs to make a poster of this process in the form of a flow diagram, describing each activity that occurs throughout the process, illustrating these descriptions where necessary.
 * 8.** Pairs will then present these either to the class or at a school assembly to show the make others aware of the recycling process.

Following the principles of Student Centred Learning and Scaffolding in this lesson... Teacher will take a Student centred learning approach as the learning in this lesson will revolve on the students own ideas. They will therefore take control of the path the lesson takes in many ways.
 * Teaching Strategies:**

- Children who are unable to use the smart board throughout this lesson will still be encouraged to input their ideas and these ideas will be accepted by others. - Depending on the specific learning needs of individual children, some children may be provided with their own laptop rather than completing a poster. - Throughout this lesson, some children may need to be in a buddy system where they work with a partner for the entire lesson, scaffolding each others learning process.
 * Accommodations:**

This lesson will take approximately 45 minutes, excluding any additional presentation time. Teacher will gain a good understanding of the success of this lesson by observing children throughout it. The output and presentation of this lesson will also give the teacher a good chance to reflect on themselves as a teacher as these posters will show how much the children have learnt. The teacher could also ask the children about how they liked the lesson and what they would like to continue with in the lessons to come.

 * Idea for lesson evaluation and teacher reflection:**

__Assessment idea:__

From observation teacher can tick and comment in boxes where children are sitting against the criteria.
 * Learning outcome**: Children will explain how different resources are recycled in a step by step process.
