We hope these resources are useful for a range of teaching situations across Australia.

Taking a game-show format, <b>“This is Your Life Cycle”</b> is a humorous, tongue-in-cheek nod to popular reality TV makeover shows. Hosted by the whale Bill Krill, the five-minute animation puts an entertaining spin on the scientific process of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). With the contestants – including a light bulb encrusted dress, a neurotic vacuum cleaner and un-functional chair – all competing for a sorely needed eco-design makeover, it’s sure to have viewers chuckling as they learn about sustainable design and consumption.<br><br>This new film is the second in a series of three.

The new animation was developed by<a href="http://www.ecoinnovators.com.au/" target="_blank"><span style='color:#D83826'> Eco Innovators</span></a> partnership with the<a href="http://www.datta.vic.edu.au/" target="_blank"><span style='color:#D83826'> Design and Technology Teachers Association Victoria </span></a>(DATTA VIC), with funding from the Department of Education & Early Childhood Development (DEECD). <br><br>The <b><a href="http://www.thesecretlifeofthings.com/" target="_blank"><span style='color:#D83826;font-weight:normal'>Secret Life of Things</span></a></b> website, where the animations are freely available, also houses free e-curriculum resources for secondary and tertiary teachers and students.
