Create an inventive eco-friendly upcycling garden product using critical thinking. Products suggested in this task include - bird-bath, bird-feeder, windchime, rain gauge, mechanical scare-crow, watering system and sundial. Introductory activity included in-depth discussion on the terms 'Creative' More… and 'Innovative'. This was followed by exploring the simple, conventional bird-bath.

This resource provides an outline/guide and brief which allows students the opportunity to invent an eco-friendly up cycling garden product using critical thinking. Products suggested in this task include a bird-bath, bird-feeder, wind chime, rain gauge or mechanical scarecrow. You will however need to do some research and general planning but this is a great topic if you are stuck for a brief and require a little structure.
