I am sharing an interesting and simple Science project for primary school Children, explaining Ozone depletion on the occasion of Earth day awareness week
As a part of parenting, scheduling our time with our children is the most important responsibility of us. Creating projects on their own will help children to gain knowledge about the theme taken, they would explore more and it's a practical way of learning. When children are involved in doing their school projects, they remember things in a better way or learn the concepts easily. Generally, projects are hands on experience activities for children.
Here, we designed a simple DIY model explaining the reasons or causes of Ozone depletion.
Learning process :
1) Explain the concept taken for the project.
Our project is about Ozone depletion. Explain the children about it, by reading out the concept from textbooks or any articles. You can show them some videos as well. Make it like an interactive session.
2) Help them to write or make quick notes on what they have learnt.
3) Ask them, how they want to present their projects. Make their collective ideas.
4) Tell them that they should do on their own with the support from us.
5) Help them to get the required resources or materials for the project.
6) We ended up in doing a simple display self explanatory model. I involved children to collect the pictures of various sources causing depletion like Refrigerator (emitting Chlorofluro carbon), Factory(emission of CO2), Pesticides, Fire extinguishers, CO2 from vehicles, Forest fires and Deforestation.
7) We did a paper collage of earth surface. We used 4 kebab sticks, tooth picks and a thick base board.
8) We drew Sun and cut out the template.
9) Glue the pictures of Refrigerator, Aerosols, Air Conditioner, Deforestation to the tooth picks and pin it to the base board.
10) Design the model of the factory using play blocks, use a toy car, we used corn fibres for forest fire remains, small tins as Pesticides can. Glue it to the base board.
11) Glue 4 kebab sticks to the corners of Earth College with Sun paper cut in the centre piercing a ray of UV through Ozone layer because of depletion.
This model conveys and help the kids understands what are the toxic emissions that causes hole in ozone leading path for the direct UV rays from the sun.
