Primary Education This material is adpted from of a number of teaching packs produced by Severn Trent Water and Biffa for use across all Key Stages. Waste Management ~ Key Stage 1 & 2 This is a resource which provides a range of active learning materials to enhance and enrich present schemes of work. At the same time it will re-inforce learning about the management of waste and prepare pupils for the challenges and responsibilities of adult life and the world of work. Water in the Science Curriculum ~ Key Stage 1 & 2 The Water Project File is an active, multi-ability resource.The file offers an approach to the theme of 'Water', a dimension of the Science National Curriculum across all key stages. The major aim of the file is to support teachers in delivering effective teaching of science in all key stages. Focus on Stories ~ Water and development issues for Key Stage 1 Focus on stories uses an enquiry based approach, whereby children's questions generate ideas to be investigated and discussed. It starts with a focus on geography, but makes strong links with other curriculum areas, in particular RE, science, English, citizenship and the environment. Focus on Ethiopia ~ Water and development issues for Key Stage 2 Focus on Ethiopia explores water issues in Britain and in Ethiopia. It has been designed for teachers and children to investigate water in their own locality first, and then to carry out the same activities for Ethiopia, using photographs and interviews. This will enable children to see both similarities and differences in the issues faced by people living in their own local area, and those faced by communities in rural and urban Ethiopia. Secondary Education Waste Management ~ Key Stage 3 & 4 The materials in this publication are designed to enhance curriculum provision. Pupils are given opportunities to examine issues, some controversial, through the expertise, experiences, values and perspectives of fellow pupils, teachers, industrialists and people from the community. Water in the Science Curriculum ~ Key Stage 3 & 4 The Activity Packs lie at the heart of the Water Project File. These photocopiable resources, a set for each stage, contain a wealth of investigations and ideas to develop skills and an understanding of the process of scientific investigation, as well as providing knowledge. The activities are designed as 'seed' ideas, providing a series of starting points from which further work can be developed. Focus on Ghana ~ Water and development issues for Key Stages 3 & 4 Focus on Ghana has been put together to facilitate the teaching of water issues through a development education perspective. To do this, the group of teachers who produced the book decided to explore the natural, economic, social and political factors which influence the supply of, and access to safe drinking water. Research Data Included in this section are two Biffa publications Waste: Somebody Else's Problem Society, industry and consumers have been embarrassed to confront the issues of waste. Its disposal has simply been "Somebody Else's Problem". However, growing environmental concern, spreading consumerism and the relentless growth in the costs of safe waste disposal is obliging society finally to face the issues. Waste: A Game of Snakes and Ladders? A benchmarking report across seven industrial sectors on waste management and how this may fit into business strategy. Research undertaken in writing these reports has been carried out in association with the Universities of Warwick and Manchester.
