THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX - THE SUSTAINABLE SEATING PROJECT

A Year 7/8 Unit of Work from DATTA Vic and Forest Learning


We're really excited to announce the publication of a new Design & Technologies resource that we created with Forest Learning - an organisation which aims to serve school teachers and educators, children, and the public with information on Australian forests and forest-based products, and provision and access to forestry teaching resources.

Thinking Ouside the Box - The Sustainable Seating Project is a Year 7/8 Unit of Work which investigates the properties and sustainability of cardboard . Using ForestVR 360o videos, students go on virtual excursions to an Australian pine plantation and paper mill to experience the cycle of growing sustainable wood fibre and how it is processed into paperboard. Following the design thinking process, students then investigate, design, produce and evaluate a sustainable seat made from upcycled cardboard.


Forest Learning have a fantastic range of resources on their website designed to support the teaching of Design & Technologies for both primary and secondary students. They are all benchmarked to the Australian curriculum, and cover topics as diverse as virtual reality, careers in forestry and materials technology. They are all free - teachers just have to register on the site to download them. Click on the Forest Learning logo and get exploring!
