OUR PROJECT
We think that our world is the biggest heritage for us. But, people pollute the environment and this causes global warming. We must stop it and protect our world, so we wanted to do something with our students by recycling to reduce environment pollution. Our targets are to raise awareness of saving the nature and developing our students' creativeness by activating our students and attracting their interests. Our project is about recycling and giving the idea of recycling materials and how to use them during the lessons. So, the students are going to learn that waste isn’t just garbage, of course it can be reusable and recyclable. Then, we are going to teach them to put their garbage in the correct recycle bin and in the end we are going to see how much we have saved and recycled. Students are going to produce materials to use them during the lessons.
our objectives
In this project, our objectives are;
- raising the consciousness of students towards nature.
- increasing creativeness of the students
- motivating the students via contests about nature, also exhibitions and e-book of our materials.
- by creating materials with recyclable waste, making these recycled objects applied to lessons
- making the students understand the importance of nature.
