In this class, students will begin to have their first contacts with environmental education by learning the difference between living and non-living beings.
The environment is everything around us. Air, soil, water, plants and animals. Absolutely everything. Living things need a healthy and balanced environment to survive. Without that there would be no life.
Ecosystems are the areas where living things interact. When these ecosystems are harmed by human action, many organisms cannot survive.
Human action creates many environmental problems, mainly due to pollution, accumulation of garbage and deforestation. The study of the environment is essential for these problems to be resolved and solutions presented. With children, the idea is for environmental education to start as soon as possible, so that the incentive to create environmental awareness is greater. The chance for these children to become adults with an environmental reasoning only grows.
