More About the Environment Vocabulary

The environment refers to all the external factors that affect living organisms, including air, water, land, plants, animals, and even the climate. It is the setting in which organisms live and interact, providing essential resources for survival. The environment is broadly categorized into two main types:

  • Natural Environment: This includes forests, oceans, rivers, mountains, and wildlife. It encompasses ecosystems that evolve naturally without human intervention, providing habitats for numerous species.

  • Built Environment: In contrast, the built environment includes human-made surroundings such as cities, roads, buildings, and parks. It represents the impact of human activities on the landscape.

Environmental Activities for Students

  1. Recycling Challenge: Students sort recyclable materials like paper, plastic, and aluminum into designated bins, learning about the recycling process and waste reduction.

  2. Create a Mini Ecosystem: Using jars or containers, students build small ecosystems with soil, plants, and water to observe how living organisms interact with their environment.

  3. Energy Conservation Audit: Students conduct an energy audit at home or school, identifying areas of energy waste and developing a plan to reduce consumption.

  4. Planting a Garden: Students plant a garden at school or home, learning about plant growth and the role of plants in ecosystems, while maintaining responsibility for the garden.

  5. Pollution Cleanup Day: Students organize a local cleanup event at a park, beach, or school, picking up trash and sorting recyclables to address pollution.
