Launch of the Year 9 Big Ideas Autumn Term Project

This term, Year 9s will explore the big question: 'Around the World in Eighty Paces - How will food sustain the world?' The task was launched with an exploration of the science of food - developing students' understanding that food provides the fundamental building blocks of life. Students undertook a number of scientific experiments and activities to explore this concept in Week 1.

The project then began to turn to the global issues connected to food. Students were introduced to the concept of 'food security' and were organised into teams through which they will represent a country around the world. Students began to preliminarily research their country, discovering what makes this nation unique - culture, tradition, geography and politics. Students are beginning to examine the issues of food security facing this country as they prepare to represent their country in our interactive display "Around the World in 80 Paces."
