After that, they watched a video with some images that showed how climate change is affecting our environment in Brazil and South America countries. To conclude, the students built some models of plants using their knowledge about plants needs and parts of the plants.

The students looked at the global map and made a list with the effects of climate change. We schedule a meeting with students from Colombia.

The students listed some solutions as: save water, recycle, use public transportation etc. They used LEGO to construct ideal habitats to the endangered animals

Interaction and Action

Our students from Brazil had a online interaction with students from Colombia. During the meeting, we shared information about our countries and compared similarities and differences related to global warming effects and climate change. After the interactions, our students from Colegio Positivo, Brazil, were invited to look around the school playground and find problems that could have an impact on the environment. They found garbage on the floor and inside the blue sand box so they decided to clean it up.

ACTION!

The students decided to make some posters to share ways to change the situation. They made an Earth Pledge where they compromise to help our planet.
