- Unit of Work - This is a four week course (Stage 4 Mandatory Technology) encouraging students to research and design a solution to an environmental problem, reducing landfill through composting. Students research, design and construct a compost bin and then evaluate and prepare a presentation on their design solution. The unit is taught through distance education so students work through learning materials at their own pace. It could be adapted for use as an assessment task or integrated into class activities. This unit is suitable for students with a range of abilities.
