  • Students investigate silage production and test a stream to see if run-off from silage is polluting it. Students then produce a pamphlet of their findings to educate the community.

    Purpose

    To investigate the making of silage and any long-term environmental impacts associated with possible silage run-off. To investigate actions that land owners can take to reduce the effects of run-off from silage.

    This unit has been trialled with two year 4 classes.
