Children, together with their teachers, take part in planting fragrant bushes in the kindergarten yard, such as lavender, rosemary, or mint. Through conversation and observing the plants, children learn how these plants attract bees, butterflies, and other helpful insects, and why all of them are important for nature. The activity encourages sensory exploration (smell, color, shape), care for plants, and understanding that even small actions, like planting, help protect biodiversity. Children observe changes in the plants every day, water them, and learn together how nature lives and grows.

STEM & Biodiversity: Exploring Nature through Observation and Experimentation
As part of our eTwinning project at the 2nd Primary School of Ilion in Greece, the students engaged in a hands-on STEM activity focused on biodiversity and the natural world. Through careful observation and simple experiments, young learners explored how seeds grow and what they need to thrive. Using cotton, seeds, water, and recycled containers, students planted and monitored their seeds, documenting the growth process and developing an appreciation for plant life. This activity fostered curiosity, scientific thinking, and a deeper understanding of biodiversity and sustainability.

Hacettepe University Biosphere Museum Trip as Part of Biodiversity Event

In order to raise awareness about the importance of biodiversity and increase our students' interest in nature, we organized a trip to Hacettepe University Biosphere Museum as [school name]. Thanks to this event, students had the opportunity to closely examine plant and animal samples from different parts of Türkiye and the world.

During the museum trip, students learned about the relationships between ecosystems, the diversity of living species and how important this diversity is for nature by observing them on site. They also attended informative presentations about endangered species and environmental problems.

This event aimed to raise environmental awareness in students and to make them understand why protecting biodiversity is vital. At the end of the trip, students took an important step towards becoming individuals who are more sensitive to nature.

The events organized in collaboration with the TEMA Foundation at our school were a significant step in reinforcing environmental awareness and love for nature while also contributing valuable experiences to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)-focused education. Ankara TEMA Etimesgut District Representative, Ms. Hatice ERTÜRK, and her team delivered an awareness seminar on "Biodiversity" in our school's conference hall, providing students and teachers with scientific insights into the richness of ecosystems, environmental issues, and ways to protect nature. The seminar not only helped students develop environmental awareness but also enhanced their analytical thinking skills within STEM fields.

During the event, teachers and students who became members of the TEMA Foundation received their membership cards, proudly becoming part of this meaningful initiative. Since all classes became TEMA volunteers, our special education class and 8/D class were honored with a TEMA leaf award for their dedicated efforts in environmental responsibility. The most impactful part of this event was when TEMA representatives and volunteer students planted saplings in our school garden, fulfilling their responsibility for environmental protection and reforestation. Sapling planting allowed students to apply their learning in biology, environmental science, and engineering to real-life contexts. This event not only strengthened students' love for nature but also demonstrated their commitment to creating a sustainable world through STEM-driven education.

Within the scope of MTA-Natural History Museum Student Trip-Friendship activity on the street activities;

Our school organized a trip to MTA-Natural History Museum in order to reinforce our students' scientific curiosity and increase their interest in natural history. Our students witnessed billions of years of history of nature by examining the fossils, minerals, geological structures and biodiversity samples exhibited in the museum. Thanks to the activities and workshops held in the museum, our students had the opportunity to learn scientific research methods in practice. In addition, they further enriched their projects on topics such as renewable energy sources, protection of ecosystems and nature-based solutions with the knowledge they acquired at the museum. This trip increased our students' love of nature and environmental awareness, while contributing to them gaining more in-depth knowledge and skills in STEM fields.
