Today we will be investigating our ecological footprint and how we affect


our environment through our daily tasks.

As a class we can talk together about what kinds of questions they might ask us when
determining our ecological footprint. We can make a mind map together on the board for
how we think our class would impact the environment (recycling, litterless lunches)

Ecological Footprint Activity


1. Students will take the ecological footprint Felt
quiz (see materials for link) Paper
2. The students will then get into groups to Pipe Cleaners
brainstorm substantial factors contributing to Glue
their ecological footprint
3. Students will then return to their desks and
discuss with their elbow partner, ways they can
reduce their ecological footprint at home.
4. To end, as a class we will do a brainstorm on Teacher will circulate around the classroom
the board about ways the class’s ecological during the ecological footprint activity to aid
footprint can be reduced as a whole (recycling,
students and answer questions
composting etc.)
Students will submit their ecological
When leaving class at the end of the day, each
student will hand in their ecological footprint footprint as a ticket-out-the-door, where the
quiz as their “ticket out the door”. teacher can then analyze understanding.
