| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

Sustainable Design Practices
Year 10
Design and Technology
20 students
This lesson aligns with the Australian Curriculum: Design and Technologies, focusing on sustainability and the use of materials in design.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Sustainability | 5 | Briefly introduce the concepts of sustainability in design. Provide real-world examples of sustainable products. |
| 2 | Principles of Sustainable Design | 10 | Discuss key principles: reduce, reuse, recycle. Distribute handouts outlining these principles. Facilitate a group discussion on their importance. |
| 3 | Material Exploration | 5 | Present various sustainable materials. Allow students to handle and discuss their properties and applications. |
| 4 | Design Project Brief | 5 | Introduce the design project where students will create a small item using at least one sustainable material. Outline project requirements. |
| 5 | Work Time | 5 | Give students time to brainstorm and sketch their designs. Provide guidance as needed and encourage peer discussion. |
| 6 | Conclusion and Homework | 5 | Summarize the key points of sustainable design. Assign homework: write a short reflection (200 words) on what they've learned about sustainable practices. |
Students will write a 200-word reflection on what they have learned about sustainable design practices without needing to present it in class. This will be collected in the next lesson for review.
Students’ understanding will be assessed through their homework reflections and the final design project submission. Feedback will be provided individually without class presentations.
This lesson plan is designed to encourage student engagement and foster an understanding of sustainability in design, consistent with the Australian Curriculum standards.
