World Oceans Day - 5th of june

Poland

Preparation

Creation of poster - Oxygen cycle

Pupils created a poster that explains the oxygen cycle.

For their project, the students drew the elements that are part of the oxygen cycle on a poster board, such as plants, animals, algae, the sun, and industries. They represented processes like photosynthesis, respiration, and gas exchange.

Creation of digital poster - Oxygen cycle

Pupils created a interactive placard that explains the oxygen cycle, using an editing program, Genially.

For their project, the students drew the elements that are part of the oxygen cycle on a poster board, such as plants, animals, algae, the sun, and industries. They represented processes like photosynthesis, respiration, and gas exchange. Then, they used a digital tool to make the poster more interactive, allowing users to search for answers and learn about each step of the cycle. In this way, they combined creativity with technology to make learning more dynamic.

International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer - 16th of september

Poland

Bike ride to school

To celebrate Ozone Layer Day, pupils took part in a bicycle ride around the school. The activity was organized to raise awareness about the importance of protecting the ozone layer and the environment.

They discussed ways to reduce pollution and take care of the planet. It was a fun and active way to learn about environmental protection and show their commitment to a healthier Earth.

Preparation

Science experiments about the ozone layer

Our primary school students conducted simple but effective experiments to understand what the ozone layer is, how it protects life on Earth, and the harmful effects of certain chemical substances on it. They also explored what might happen if the ozone layer were damaged – including the increased entry of ultraviolet (UV) rays and even space materials like meteorites.

Meanwhile, older students from the 2nd and 3rd cycles took their learning a step further by designing and performing their own experiments. These student-led projects demonstrated a deeper understanding of atmospheric science and showcased their creativity and scientific thinking.

Science experiments about the ozone layer

Students carried out experiments to simulate the ozone layer and observe the effects of pollution. During the activity, they learned how the ozone layer protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays and how certain pollutants can damage it. The experiments helped them understand the importance of reducing pollution and taking care of the environment to protect both the ozone layer and life on our planet.

The Effect of Greenhouse Gases on Ozone

In the bottle with more water, a hole begins to form earlier, representing the ozone hole. In the bottle with less water (fewer greenhouse gases), the hole appears later. Within 2–3 minutes we can observe that once the hole forms, it spreads very quickly.

The Ozone Shield (UV beads)

The foil represents the ozone layer, which protects against UV light. Aluminum foil completely reflects UV rays, and food wrap with more layers protects the beads better than a single layer.
Also check how well sunscreen protects against UV light. We notice that the cream does protect against UV, but over time the beads still change color—just more slowly—so sunscreen needs to be reapplied several times a day. The experiment could be done outside with sunlight, but we performed it indoors and therefore used a UV-A flashlight.

Cooling of the Upper Layer of the Atmosphere

In the atmosphere, air behaves very similarly to the air in the glass. If a part of the atmosphere warms, the air expands and rises; if it cools, it contracts and the pressure drops. When greenhouse gases warm the lower part of the atmosphere, the stratosphere—where ozone is located—cools, similar to the air in the glass after the candle goes out. This cooling causes special clouds and conditions in which ozone breaks down more quickly. Just as in the experiment temperature and pressure affect air behavior, temperature changes in the atmosphere also affect ozone and its reactions.

World Animal Day - 4th of october

Poland

Preparation

Infographic - Endangered animals

As part of this activity, students conducted a research project on endangered animals worldwide. They investigated the main causes of extinction, such as habitat destruction, climate change, pollution, and illegal hunting.

The students also explored how these threats affect biodiversity.

Through this research, they developed greater awareness of environmental issues and the importance of protecting wildlife for future generations.

Preparation

Infographic - Endangered animals

Students created posters with information about different species that are in danger of disappearing. Each group chose an animal and wrote about its habitat, characteristics, reasons for being endangered, and ways to protect it.

After finishing the posters, they collected all the information to create an digital infographic. It will show the most important facts about these animals in a clear and colorful way, helping people understand why it is important to protect wildlife and take care of the environment.

This project helped pupils to learn more about animals around the world and how everyone can help to save endangered species.

Infographic - Endangered animals

Students carried out a research project about endangered animals and then presented their findings to classmates. During the project, they learned about different species at risk of extinction, the causes of their endangerment, and the actions being taken to protect them. Presenting the research to their peers helped them to raise awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation.
