Other Resources

Where's the Impact - Product Impact
A resource to explore what the Eco-footprint of a product is, or just to explore the many and varied impacts of any product. Pupils use a set of cards (of lorries, fields, factories, quarries etc.) to tell the story of a product from beginning to end. This activity works very well with pupils from KS2 to A-level.
