In the firts lesson, students investigated the greenhouse effect by measuring temperature changes in two glass jars. One jar was covered with plastic wrap to simulate the Earth's atmosphere trapping heat, while the other remained uncovered. Both jars were placed under a lamp, representing the Sun.
Students began by recording the initial temperature inside each jar. The lamp is then turned on for a set period, 10–15 minutes. During this time, students observed and recorded temperature changes at regular intervals.
After collecting the data, students compared the results. They found out that the covered jar retains more heat than the uncovered one, demonstrating how greenhouse gases trap heat in Earth's atmosphere. The lesson concluded with a discussion on the real-world implications of the greenhouse effect and climate change.
This hands-on experiment helped students understand the role of greenhouse gases in warming our planet.
The second lesson was even more challenging. Students built wind-solar power plant to investigate renewable energy sources.
They assembled a miniature wind turbine and a small solar panel, connecting both to LED bulb to use the generated electricity. By testing the setup under different conditions—such as varying wind speed (using a fan) and light intensity (with a lamp)—students observed how energy production changes. They recorded their findings, comparing the efficiency of wind and solar energy individually and combined. Finally, they discussed the advantages of hybrid renewable systems and their real-world applications.

You may have noticed that when you wet the sand of the sea, the water soon disappears and the sand remains, which dries up again in a short time.
You will also have seen that, in some cases, puddles remain on the lawns for a long time after storms. There are soils that let water pass quickly and others that, on the other hand, retain it and let it filter slowly. This means that not all soils allow water to pass through in the same way. To understand the reasons for this, let's do an experiment using the upper part of three plastic bottles, three transparent jars, strips of gauze to close the opening of the bottles, sand, gravel and soil.

Hello Dear Scientists!
Thank you so much for protecting the natural environment. Now, let's discover one of the negative conditions affecting the natural environment and living things with a product we'll make!
How important is the air we breathe, isn't it?
Actually, it's important for all living things!
So, what's in the air?
Is the air clean where we live?
The best way to find out is with an experiment!
Let's begin then.
After carefully reviewing the experiment content and making sure we have all the materials ready, let's conduct our experiment just like scientists.
How to Do It?
The air in the atmosphere contains gases in certain proportions. Thanks to this air, the ecological balance on Earth is maintained, and the life cycle continues. The quality of air, such an important environmental element, is equally important. Low air quality, or air pollution, means that solid, liquid, and gaseous substances are present in the atmosphere in proportions that harm living things and the ecological balance. The most important cause of air pollution is the substances that are released into the air by human production and consumption activities. In our experiment, we designed a product that can measure the air quality in our location. We used petroleum jelly, a material to which small particles in the air can adhere, when preparing the Air Pollution Measurement Sheet.
After observing the area with petroleum jelly on the Air Pollution Measurement Sheet for one day, the number of particles indicated the air pollution level, while areas with very few or no particles indicated clean air.
