Classroom activities on sustainability
Several T3 Europe instructors have developed ready to use classroom activities and content focused on STEM and sustainability. The activities cover a typical lesson of 1-2 hours that you can fit in your curriculum however you choose. New classroom resources will be added every month.
Creating a sustainable future through education
Sustainability is a hot topic. The UNESCO has started the program Education for Sustainable Development to empower learners. Also, many students seem concerned for the environment and other social and societal issues. STEM education can play an important role in creating a sustainable future. Understanding issues relevant to sustainable development requires mathematics, including statistics and programming.
Available activities
A Healthy Classroom
Classrooms are mini ecosystems with their own climate. Learn to implement an automated environmental measurement system.The Right Lighting is Important...
Sufficient lighting of the workplace is important for fatigue-free work and maintaining the health of the eyes. Excessive lighting of the workplace not only strains the eyes, but also the environment in an unnecessary way.Modelling Increase in Rainfall with Temperature
Rise in global temperature will lead to increase in rainfall. Thermodynamics helps to predict the future.Estimating the Earth’s Albedo
Earth’s albedo determines amount of solar radiation reflected by Earth’s surface. Carry out a lab exercise to measure Earth’s albedo using a light probe and coloured paper to resemble different surfaces.
