Summer upload- resource 5, 6 and 7- The Organic Debate…

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Easier to upload these in a batch, all can be found on the R.G. food page.

To introduce the concept of organic farming I used this video clip…

We then decided which of the statements referred to organic farming using the ‘Which is organic sheet?’.

We then conducted a mini-investigation, entitled ‘Are Kirk Hallam families converts to organic products?’. This took around three lessons, also an opportunity to use ICT.

Finally to help add some explanation to our findings we completed the counterargument exercise.

Also good to use the classic Store Wars clip… this never fails to get a smile.
