RECYCLING FROM WASTE WITH STEM

Summary
This learning scenario is planned to turn waste materials into course material. With this method, we aim to protect nature, make our lessons more attractive and ensure permanenearning. Raising awareness about the importance of nature for students and their parents is among our goals.
Target
We believe that our students will create great motivation in the lessons with different activities and designs. As an educator aiming to gain Environmental Literacy, especially with young students, we want to prevent them from worrying. Fear of future experiences with the climate crisis can make them feel too helpless to contribute to change. For this reason, we aim for them to be environmentally literate by giving them age-appropriate responsibility.
