Product Reviews
Straight forward and easy to use. Majority of students (Yr9) found it simple enough to complete independently, while none complained about it being "too easy". I've used a number of these segments with these older students now, as the more capable students simply knock them over quickly (but do pick up some new words / learn a few new things), while the lower students are enjoying the fact that they have same task as everyone else, yet are finding it quite manageable. It's serving as a really good overview to waste, waste management and pollution.
