Educational boards
The S14 Product Life Cycle board is an outdoor educational board about waste and recycling. A life cycle infographic, a decomposition timeline and two rotating wheels show how long rubbish takes to decompose and which bin each kind of waste goes in. It works well in nurseries, schools, public spaces and at recycling centres.
Product description
It all starts with two rotating wheels. At the ‘Sort the waste’ wheel, the child turns it and matches a picture of waste to the right bin: paper, glass, metals and plastics, or bio. With every turn, the ‘Waste tips’ wheel reveals another tip. The print teaches the rest - the life cycle infographic and the waste decomposition timeline. Why put it all together? Because the product life cycle, the journey of a thing from being made, through being used, to decomposing or going back into circulation, is too long for a child to see as a whole. The board shortens it to a single glance and shows that throwing something in the bin does not end that journey, but starts it.
For the same graphics to stay legible after several seasons, the board has to withstand rain, frost and sun. The print is protected with UV-resistant varnish, so the colours do not fade. The frame is galvanised and powder-coated: the zinc protects the steel from corrosion, and the powder coating holds its colour and does not peel. The moving parts are made of metal that does not rust, so the wheels and the pointer turn after winter just as they did on the day of installation. The board works outdoors all year round and is covered by a warranty. The manufacturer is EduPlayground, and the board is made in Poland.
The board does not stop at telling you which bin the bottle goes in - it shows what happens to it next. The child gets a reason, not an order, and a reason can be repeated at home.
The product life cycle is a chain: a thing is made, serves its purpose, and then either decomposes or goes back into circulation as a raw material. Reading this chain from the board practises cause-and-effect thinking and putting events in order.
Several children can use the board at once: at the ‘Sort the waste’ wheel, one turns it and the others suggest the right bin. The board also works without a teacher - children come back to it during free play.
Four elements of the board and one add-on - each has its own job in the lessons.
Two wheels turn in the bottom corners: ‘Waste tips’ with six tip fields, and ‘Sort the waste’, which links pictures of waste to bins. On the large cycle wheel, the child sets the pointer to the stage that the question on the board is about.
The print shows how long a can, a plastic bottle or chewing gum takes to decompose. The times sit side by side, so the difference needs no explaining - the child reads it on their own and sees which item will stay in the ground the longest.
Which container does a newspaper, a glass bottle, a can or food scraps go in? The ‘Sort the waste’ wheel answers, so the child can check as many times as they need - and comes back to the classroom bin with the answer ready.
The board's height is adjustable, so the print can be set at eye level for the group that will use it: lower at nursery, higher at school. The child does not have to crane their neck to read and reaches the wheels without jumping.
