Environmental Education

After our activities, pupils will:

• Understand through experiment the way roots support the plants.

• Understand through experiment soil’s additional and auxiliary role on plant’s support and the interactive relation between roots and soil.

• Conclude and rate from the above, forest’s importance on soil’s support and protection from flood.

• Acquire awareness of the danger our planet is going through and realize that every living object deserves our respect and protection.

• Learn to work in groups and understand that team work is more effective as they develop communication skills and sociability.

• Improve their I.C.T. skills and performance.

Methodology

We followed the project procedure.

• Initial observation

• Make hypothesis

• Information and material gathering

• Identify variables

• Design experiments to test our hypothesis

• Do the experiments and record data

• Summarize results

• Draw conclusions

• Communicate our results

Earth’s message.

How much energy do you think that our Earth still has?

Of course we need energy for our everyday activities, but we could try and change our habits and our behavior. We must help Earth recover from its injuries.

For example, we could use renewable forms of energy, such as solar power, wind power, waterpower that are friendly to our environment. We can save energy using our bicycle to go to school or the public transportation or just walking. It is healthy as well!!!

Recycling is a very good solution and we don?t have to cut so many trees. Turning down so many electric devices and using economical lamps can help in energy saving.

Let?s make a better choice. Let?s change habits.

You can also watch our sort video clip about our planet’s SOS message…

If planet Earth had human voice it would say: ? I feel exhausted?.

Every day people and industries consume enormous quantities of non-renewable sources of energy, such as petrol, gas, and coal. It seems that we squeeze Earth. At the same time our forests become smaller and smaller, because people cut the trees and big fires destroy them. I think that we hurt our planet, which has reached at a dangerous point.
