Which bits of waste from your packed lunch are biodegradable?

Enquiry resource for 11-14 year-olds

This project challenges pupils to investigate the packaging in their school lunch.

It will encourage the use of recycled or reusable packaging for their own food. It will inspire them to investigate and share their ideas and findings around the suitability of different types of materials.

Inspire your pupils to ask-investigate and share their findings to other questions related to their lunch and where it comes from.
