Facilitators set the groundwork for students to understand the purpose and components of the project with a well-defined set of learning objectives. By delving into the lesson's fundamentals, students gain the confidence and insight to craft their unique renditions of the project.

Equip students for before starting the lesson by familiarizing them with frequently used vocabulary words, enhancing their writing skills, and engaging in constructive building exercises.

Recognise that a city is a large community made up of many smaller communities where many people live and work together.

Explain the needs and challenges of people living in a city and potential problems or design constraints in particular cities.

Construct models of the solar panel array for the city’s sustainable infrastructure.

Build a unified city layout planning out the energy, transportation, green spaces, and housing for the community.

Reflect on urban planners' challenges in creating sustainable cities through student designs.

Extend your learning through opportunities to expand city design, focusing on sustainability and innovation.

Understand the disparities in energy access and its impact on communities. Begin with a reflective activity where students share their understanding of energy sources and their availability in different parts of the world. Encourage brainstorming of actions students can take to promote clean energy adoption, such as raising awareness, advocating for policy changes, or participating in energy-saving initiatives.

Understand the challenges faced by individuals living in urban areas. Conduct case studies of cities that have successfully implemented sustainable urban planning strategies, allowing students to analyze the benefits and challenges. Conduct interactive sessions explaining the environmental impacts of urbanization, including pollution, waste management, and loss of biodiversity. Assign projects or discussions that challenge students to research and propose solutions for minimizing the negative environmental effects of urban growth. Challenge students to design and implement community improvement projects, such as creating public art, organizing clean-up events, or starting community gardens. Provide guidance on project planning, implementation, and measuring the impact of their initiatives on community well-being. Assign students to research and present on urban policies, initiatives, or organizations that promote sustainable cities and communities. Guide students in creating awareness campaigns or presentations to raise public awareness about sustainable urban practices and advocate for policy changes.

Get a sense of connection and appreciation for the diversity of life on land. Engage students in discussions about the impact of deforestation, habitat destruction, and climate change on terrestrial ecosystems. Share stories or case studies of threatened or endangered species and their habitats, prompting discussions about the ethical responsibility to protect them. Provide resources such as articles, videos, and discussions that explore the diversity of plant and animal species and their interactions. Conduct virtual or in-person field trips to local parks, nature reserves, or botanical gardens to observe and study different species and ecosystems. Provide guidance on creating personal action plans that involve reducing resource consumption, supporting sustainable agriculture, and participating in habitat restoration efforts.
