Our project, based on the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) principles, aims to develop educational materials for primary school students, focusing on raising environmental awareness. This report outlines the details of our games and the project's overall scope. The primary objectives are to increase environmental consciousness, foster creative thinking, and improve social interaction among children.

1. Project Purpose and Scope

This project supports GLOBE's goals of promoting environmental awareness and introducing scientific processes to students through fun, educational activities. Our main focus is to enhance children’s scientific research skills while teaching them environmental protection.

Key components:

Activity Book: A child-friendly book with coloring and cut-and-paste activities that teach environmental concepts.

Interactive Lessons and Presentations: Quizzes and hands-on learning sessions.

Social Skill Building Games: Card matching games and puzzles that encourage peer interaction.

2. Game Descriptions

Coloring Book: Teaches topics like climate change and pollution while children color scenes of nature.

Cut-and-Paste Activities: Children create balanced environments by learning which structures are harmful to nature.

Card Matching Game: Focuses on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), encouraging social interaction while learning about climate change and renewable energy.

Interactive Presentation: A debate about industry and nature helps children learn about global warming and pollution.

Puzzle Game: Encourages problem-solving by having children find solutions to environmental issues, such as ocean pollution.

3. Resources and Scientific Foundation

The project uses GLOBE’s scientific data and methodologies, along with remote sensing data from NASA and ESA, to educate children about real-world environmental challenges.

4. Next Steps

We plan to expand the project by moving our materials to digital platforms, ensuring sustainability through regular content updates and adding new activities.

5. Conclusion

This project, aligned with GLOBE’s mission, aims to instill environmental awareness in young children, helping them become environmentally conscious individuals through engaging and educational activities.
