Explore Environmental Impact
<\/strong><\/span>
Climate change is never far from our minds. If you\u2019re looking to explore the environmental impact of the way we lead our lives with your students, we\u2019ve got lots of resources to help you.<\/p>\n

1) People of the past have been very resourceful with natural materials. This pot scrubber from Gairloch Museum needed no packaging and made use of simple, easily available materials.

Use the \u2018What\u2019s that Noise?\u2019 activity to guess what\u2019s making the sound as a nice way to introduce the topic.

2) Take this further by thinking about the materials we use today. Consider objects in the past that would be made of plastic today through this stoneware lemonade bottle from Brora Heritage Centre.

Then, explore if the time has now come to ban plastic packaging with \u2018The Big Question\u2019 activity on the site.

3) How have people made changes to their behaviour? Discover why we no longer collect birds\u2019 eggs, and the decimating effect this hobby had on the bird population through an incredible collection of eggs from Gairloch Museum.

You can use the \u2018Object in Focus\u2019 activity at the bottom of the page (in the link above) to let your students guess what the object could be.<\/p>\n

4) Make a memorial for declining animal species with the activity \u2018On Reflection\u2019 \u2013 or pledge to take positive action to help today.

5) Finally, decide if we should take more drastic steps to reduce our environmental impact. Use objects from across the Highlands to debate, \u2018Should we stop having holidays for the sake of the planet?\u2019 in \u2018The Big Question\u2019 activity.
