Sustainable Palm Oil Conservation Curriculum Toolkits
Our Sustainable Palm Oil Curriculum Toolkits are designed to empower teachers with curriculum linked resources to educate students about the impacts of palm oil production on rainforests and wildlife, particularly in South East Asia.
Designed for Key Stages 2 and 3, these toolkits include lesson plans, activities, and comprehensive guides that introduce students to the complexities of sustainable vs. unsustainable palm oil production. Through engaging materials, students learn about the environmental consequences of unsustainable palm oil production, such as habitat destruction in Borneo and Sumatra, and explore how choosing sustainable options can mitigate these effects. With content covering science, geography, and ethical consumerism, this resource empowers students to make informed choices and advocate for sustainability in their communities.
Each toolkit is tailored to specific year groups, with topics spanning persuasive writing, debates on sustainability, ecosystem studies, and the science of photosynthesis. Activities are designed to foster understanding of global environmental issues and the real-world impact of everyday products. By participating in the Sustainable Palm Oil Challenge, students actively learn about eco-conscious shopping, the role of certification, and how sustainable practices support endangered species and biodiversity.
The toolkits include:
- Topic Webs
- Lesson Plans
- Knowledge Organisers
- Progression Overviews
- Learning Resources and Activities
