PackagingAn inquiry unit by 1M

TUNING IN The children of 1M tried to define What is packaging?

By asking themselves ‘’what they already know?’’

William:

“Packaging goes

around stuff”

Amelia:

“It protects the thing

inside”

Daniel:

“It’s what you get

when you buy a

product”

Maddie:

“It keeps things

clean”

Marco:

“It stops things

getting dirty or

breaking”

Finding Out

1M bought in some packages

from home.

They then decided to sort

them out by the material they

were made of.

There was a lot of sorting to do! IM

seperated the materials into 3 separate

piles. Plastic, Cardboard/paper and other.

The other pile included glass, cotton and

tin.

Collecting the Data

Once we had sorted the materials into

piles we then decided to see which

material was most popular. We created a

bar graph on the whiteboard to collect

the data.

As it was coming up to Easter we noticed a lot of Easter Packaging in the

shops

We brainstormed some of the ways that Easter Eggs were packaged.

SORTING OUT

We decided that we would design

our own Easter Egg Packaging

1M thought of many

different ways that we

could use less packaging

every day.

It is now up to them to do that

every chance they get.
