Young people will investigate climate change in order to
recognise the importance of building new homes with consideration
for environmental impact. Learners will engage with local property
developers and architects to research methods of building which are
environmentally sound. Young people will form architecture
companies and design a home using solar energy/environmentally
friendly materials.
Broad Outcomes of learning
• Subject knowledge enhanced and gained: climate change,
recycling/solar energy; knowledge of how property developers are
trying to incorporate environmentally sound practices into
building; recognition that homes of the future must take account of
environmental factors
• Learners have developed 4 capacities of CfE
Relevance to curriculum
• Supports CfE Science
• Relevance of the environmental impact of new homes and how this
can be lessened through responsible and considerate use of
resources
