Activity 1: A rubbish audit

Years 7 to 9

Students organise an audit of the places where rubbish collects around the school. They quantify the amount of rubbish and convey this information on a school map using a variety of representations, such as heat maps and dot maps, to display their data simply and effectively.

Students make recommendations for reducing the amount of rubbish by analysing the data.
