ACTIVITY 2: They had to make a timeline that represents the evolution of an object : before, now, future. They have to how ecological impact and pick an object and draw: Ancestor, Object, Innovation. To finish they had to write an argument to explain your choices (ecological impacts advantages, disadvantages...) in front of the others and manage an oral session about their ideas. The example was:
Candle: Not using polluting energy / Short lifespan / Bad composition / Polluting indoor air
Buld: Limited lifespan / Wastes / Consuming electricity / Toxic and polluting materials
