1) Global warming

2) It is easier to instill knowledge to children when they are young. This can provide the children with a sense of societal responsibility.

3) We will use a container with marine animals in their natural habitat. We will polar bears and penguins on an ice cap. Place a thermometer and ruler into the water. As the temperature of the water rises, the ice cube will melt, the water level rises and results in a loss of habitat for the animals. Thus, causing them to die. Through this activity, the children can visually learn and see the effects of global warming.

1) water pollution
2) To teach children that they can also play their part in helping the environment no matter how big or small. Also teaches children how precious our current source of water is, giving them the opportunity to see how our actions can affect our lives directly or indirectly. Also gives an avenue to teach children about people who do not have access to clean water.
3) Read about water pollution through this book, the "Blue Planet" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52838877-blue-planet
Carry out an experiment to show how pollution happens

1. overflowing waste (plastic, paper, metal)
2. why it's important: very common issue in our society- rubbish in our beaches, overflowing landfills. the trash that gets dumped in the landfills releases methane gas which is harmful to our environment, and burning trash releases high levels of carbon dioxide into the air and contributes to rising temperatures in our world. children need to know the importance of reusing, reducing and recycling, so that they can reduce the amount of waste released into the world. we think that it is important that these ideas be cultivated when they are young, so that it becomes a habit for them in the future.
3. how we can talk about this idea with children: making recycled paper
-collecting used paper into a box after using them for arts and craft. (can be done over a week)
-tearing paper into small pieces, sorting them out by colour

1 & 2) We feel that the children have learnt somewhat effectively. The teacher did give the children the beans to explore, however, he did not explain to the children how the beansprout grew out of the bean or the process of the bean's growth. The teacher did use a storybook to try to link the concept back to the children's interest, but there wasn't any clear collaboration or experimentation. The teacher carried out the discussion in a one-to-one manner rather than engaging the whole group in one discussion.
3) Set clear rules before the activity. Model an interested and engaged tone. Allow children to experiment together by planting seeds and linking it to the book in the process which helps to link their thoughts together.

1 and 2) No, the teacher did not effectively use the constructivist approach as there was very limited interactions between the teacher and the students. The interactions were very brief and the activity did not seem engaging enough for the children.

3) When introducing about the bean seeds, we could have shown a video or used a song. We can also split the children into smaller groups so that they can monitor, interact and help each other to increase their social interactions.

# data[].attributes.body
1) Yes.
2) Yes. By fostering social interaction, the teacher encouraged the children to answer and respond to his questions. He allowed the children time to form constructive feedback. He linked information together through his explanation of the growth process.
3) I would have given clearer instructions to the children so that they will not swallow the beans. He can set clear rules before the activity. The teacher can get the children to observe and participate in entire growth process of the beans to a young plant.

1. only somewhat effective. the teacher did allow them to touch and feel the seeds, and described the "shoot" but did not explain the life cycle fully
2. the children were engaged in the activity, and answered the questions posed by the teacher enthusiastically. they also interacted with the teacher by telling him about the seeds
the teacher implemented the constructive experimental approach by having them touch the seeds instead of using pictures
3. how this activity can be done differently
- lay down ground rules before handing out the seeds (like "be gentle with the seeds/no licking/eating the seeds)
-bring different types of seeds so that children are able to see that they are of a different colour/size/category
