This lesson plan targets K-8 students of Chemistry specifically referring to the "Carbon Dioxide" section (as taught in 2nd Gymnasium, Greek Educational System),. The plan was developed in two parts with the aims of a) presentation of the cognitive aspects; and b) changing the behavior of the students.
Starting with the physical properties and the uses of carbon dioxide, students explore the carbon dioxide cycle, as part of the carbon cycle. They learn about the greenhouse effect, and what human activities are associated with climate change. They are introduced to sustainable development issues (overpopulation, renewable energy, consumption, etc.) they learn about about the carbon footprint and calculate their own at home, with the help of their family. They discuss their findings in class and set their own reduction targets.
This lesson plan was developed by Anastasia Andrikopoulou, Master Student in «Didactics of Chemistry and New Educational Technologies» of the University of Athens (DiXiNET, 2017).
