About Our Project
About:
Research shows that children should be taught sustainable habits from a young age, so that they can become conscious citizens about planetary health and management as adults ( The Lancet, 2020). A study published by the OECD in March 2020 found: "The cognitive and social-emotional skills that children develop in the early years have long-lasting effects on their subsequent outcomes throughout school and adulthood." In this context, in our project, it is aimed to develop students' critical thinking, self-expression and problem-solving abilities in the applications to be made. Students will design how the environment in which they live should be related to Energy, Forests and Recycling. Students will show how to act at school and outside of school.
Aims:
Project Plan:
October- November:
December-January : Take Care of Your Energy
Teachers will introduce students to nature-friendly energies and how they are produced.
Students will observe energy waste in the classroom, at school and at home.
Students design and take precautions. they will make applications.
They will calculate their savings by checking the bills.
Savings video will be prepared
February- March: The Guardian of the Earth Forests
Students will investigate the tree species and climate in their city
He will investigate the benefits of forests to our environment.
What are the problems facing forests? they will investigate. he will find the causes of these problems and find solutions.
April- : The Journey of Recycling
Which Materials are recycled and how.?
What happens if there is no recycling?
What kind of waste is being made at school and at home? How can reversals be made around here.?
Each team will select a recycling material and investigate the cycle. he will make a design.
