This website links with human geography in the KS2 NC because it can be linked with children learning about our environmental impact on the Earth, and how to become more sustainable and therefore have less of an environmental impact on the Earth.

On this website, children learn about recycling and being more sustainable through an explorative map, quizzes and games. This could also be linked with a trip to the local recycling plant. The website is age-appropriate and could also work for younger children with extra scaffolding in place from the teacher. It's easy to navigate, and it can allow children to form a foundation on recycling by themselves before allowing them to enquire (explore) more about recycling and sustainability on their own time and tying in the trip and reinforcing this with their own local knowledge, and to understand how they themselves impact the world around them.
