Our Environment
This is my very first blog post so I chose a topic that needs awareness among our little ones along with being age appropriate.
When the Science topic of Our Environment was being covered in school, I noticed that my Dhruv was a little perplexed. It is surely a content dense chapter with many challenging concepts like deforestation, pollution and conservation.
I split the chapter into
We understood what is deforestation and what are the causes and effects of deforestion.
We made a T-chart on deforestation after sorting out causes and effects from a pile of pictures.
Dhruv pinned his chart in class.
We understood what is acid rain through this lovely slideshow made by EPA .
We discussed what we in our day-to-day life can do for conservation and then also did several worksheets.
Theres also an interesting video for kids on pollution.
For all this and more, have a look at my product Our Environment- Forests, Deforestation, Pollution and Conservation .
