Science sustainability resources from UPD8

UPD8 is a great website. Its got loads of curriculum and resources for science, and the lessons are really inoovative covering the usual topics in absorbing ways. I just looked at one where pupils were given the task of coordinating a car chase stunt for a hollywood movie, enabling them to learn about the relationship between speed, distance and time and inter and extraploation of graphs. On a specifically sustainability slant.....

They also have a series of lessons called climate futures. These cover energy use - which is the best present to give mum for her birthday?, eco-friendly motorbikes - write a review for a magazine, food recycling etc. You have to register to download the resources but these ones and lots of others on the site are free.
