Option 4 : Ask students to write in a common register how many spoons of glue they took each time, when and why.
Resources are to be used wisely so that they should be sufficient for current generations and also for the upcoming generations. One such way of using the available resources wisely is 'using alternative resources' for resources that are limited in quantity. Another one is choosing the right activity in which the resource should be used.
Asking students to write in a common register how many spoons of glue they took each time, when, and why would most help students engage in the idea of conserving resources that cannot be brought back because
- students will follow a strict routine in a disciplined manner in the usage of glue as they have to note everything in the register.
- students may look at the entries of other students the reason they took and the quantity they used and learn from them.
- students will get to know exactly where the glue needs to be used instead of wasting it in every activity of the project.
- the register may change the perspective of students and make them think about the conservation of resources.
- moreover, students become cautious in using the glue for the right purposes only.
Hence asking students to write in a common register how many spoons of glue they took each time, when, and why would most help students engage in the idea of conserving resources that cannot be brought back.
Putting up a poster, conducting a survey, and distributing the glue equally are less appropriate approaches to helping students engage in the idea of conserving resources that cannot be brought back.
