Education Kit
Create awareness in your school about marine ecology and conservation issues
Get Your School Involved
The Tangaroa Blue Foundation Education Kit creates awareness about marine ecology and conservation issues by asking three big questions:
- What is marine debris?
- Why is marine debris a problem?
- What can we do about it?
Our program is centred around key environmental concepts such as consumption, pollution, and solutions. By investigating these, students can better understand the intricate relationship between the environment and human activities.
The program is easy to use for educators and aligned with Australia’s National Curriculum: Science and cross-curricular priorities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and culture, Asia and Australia’s engagement with Asia, and sustainability.
An explorative teaching and learning model allows students to represent and re-represent their developing understanding, whilst hands-on experiences provide links to the real world beyond the classroom with real data and analysis contributing to the Australian Marine Debris Initiative. Students develop stewardship and ultimately become part of the solution for marine debris.
