Students explore the concept of "reducing" solid waste and how it relates to product packaging and engineering advancements in packaging materials. They read about and evaluate the highly publicized packaging decisions of two major U.S. corporations. Then they evaluate different ways to package items in order to minimize the environmental impact, while considering issues such as cost, availability, product attractiveness, etc. In addition, students explore "hydropulping" and consider its use as a recycling process.

Kit éducatif sur le plastique océanique
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

"400 millions de tonnes de plastique sont produites chaque année, dont 36 % sont destinées à un usage unique ou à l'emballage. Sur ce chiffre, seuls 9 % sont recyclés. Il est juste de dire que les plastiques sont partout, y compris dans l'océan. En fait, environ 13 millions de tonnes de plastique entrent dans les courants océaniques chaque année. Le plastique est devenu un pilier de la vie moderne. Il faudra un changement profond et transformationnel dans la conscience et les activités de l'humanité concernant l'océan pour briser le modèle plastique.

Nous croyons que c'est possible ! Mais nous avons besoin de votre aide.En mettant en relation des concepts socio-économiques et scientifiques tels que les bassins versants et les courants océaniques, les interactions de la chaîne alimentaire et l'effet de serre, les jeunes apprendront l'histoire du plastique, comment il a transformé nos habitudes de consommation, comment il nuit à la santé des océans, exacerbe la crise climatique actuelle, et comment ils peuvent protéger notre océan contre une nouvelle pollution plastique et restaurer les écosystèmes déjà touchés.

Grâce aux activités de ce kit éducatif, les élèves recevront les connaissances, les outils et les compétences nécessaires pour briser leur modèle plastique et devenir des leaders du changement - et tout cela commence dans votre classe."

La nature et moi
Rating
0.0 stars

En quoi consiste le projet
La nature et moi?
On connaît de mieux en mieux les impacts négatifs importants du « déficit nature » (manque de contact avec la nature) sur la santé générale, le développement moteur, le comportement, la concentration et la socialisation chez les jeunes. La nature et moi propose à la fois une formation pour les éducatrices et éducateurs en petite enfance, ainsi qu’un recueil d’activités de 50 activités pédagogiques.

La formation La nature et moi propose un contenu théorique suivi d’exercices pratiques et de jeux d’apprentissage. Le partage du savoir collectif des participant(e)s est également favorisé. Une sortie extérieure pourra être insérée dans la formation, selon les disponibilités offertes près du lieu de la formation.
