Tackling issues such as waste minimisation and recycling by incorporating the eco-lunch challenge and the Pelham challenge, this activity raises awareness in everyday issues. Looking at alternative energy sources, recycling and resource use, pupils gain an understanding of the responsibilities and choices that they may face in the future.

Outdoor work involves the comparison of water quality in the ponds at Pelham, with the use of pollution indicators, and features studies into the importance of the natural environment with particular emphasis on the impact of man.
