This activity not only shows pupils the technological advances in mobile phones, but also makes them think about how fast technology is changing and how often electronics are becoming a waste product that is a burden on the environment.
The exhibition promotes responsible handling and recycling of electronics.
Discussion questions:
1. How have the functions of mobile phones evolved and what was considered a “gadget” in the past?
2. Why is it important to recycle old mobile phones responsibly?
3. How could we contribute to reducing e-waste at our school?
