What is it about?

Gardeners work with nature on a daily basis and influence the design of the environment. Soil, water, air and plants are the basis for production and services in horticulture. It is therefore important to understand the interrelationships and the importance of environmental protection, to which each individual can contribute - both professionally and privately.

Teamwork: Environmental protection checklist

Every pupil can easily make a contribution to environmental protection every day. For example, they can cycle to school, use energy-saving light bulbs, pay attention to water consumption at work and at home and much more.

In small groups or as a class, the pupils collect ideas on how they can contribute to environmental protection in school, leisure and education. The ideas are collected and presented to the class. An environmental protection checklist for everyday use is drawn up together.

Educational game: Environmental taboo

In the environmental protection taboo, a pupil has to explain a term from the subject area of environmental protection to the class without using the term and the four taboo words for this term.

For the game, call a pupil to the front and have them explain the green term without using the red taboo words - without gestures or pantomime. The teacher or another pupil makes sure that the taboo words are not used. It is best to set a time limit of 30 to 60 seconds per term for the game. By clicking on the solved card, the next game card appears.

The game can also be played in teams or small groups - you can use the Print out taboo cards and distribute to the class.

Photos of environmental protection in your everyday life

In an optional digression, you can ask the students to look for examples of exemplary environmental protection, but also of violations of environmental protection, in their private everyday lives, in training and at school.

The photos can be collected, discussed in class and published on Instagram.
A selection of posts with the hashtag #newlifemachtschule will be published on the NEW LIFE MACHT SCHULE Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/newlifemachtschule.

An exhibition in the school with a selection of the best photos is also conceivable.
