Content and methods: The worksheet provides information about the basics of the selected goal and the current status in this area. Methodologically, information texts, tasks for text comprehension (multiple choice questions) and open questions are used. As a bonus, an individual reflection task on behaviours that contribute to the achievement of the 17 goals is attached.

Competences:

• Expertise: Students acquire knowledge about the importance of a selected goal and the measures taken to achieve it.
• Methodological competence: Pupils practise reading and understanding information texts, answering questions and writing short texts.

Level: 7th/8th grade

Objective: The learners follow a plastic (particle) on its journey through the ecosystem. In addition, they can explain the effect of the journey on the environment and reflect on its impact on the ecosystem.

Content and methodology: With the help of text messages, learners follow a plastic particle on its journey through the ecosystem and learn more about its experiences and effects on the ecosystem. Learners answer questions about the content and reflect on the effects of the particle. There is also a bonus task where the learners create a profile of the particle.

Competences:

• Spatial perception and orientation: The students follow the spatial displacement of plastic particles and develop an understanding of the interconnectedness of different environmental areas.
• Cause-effect thinking: Students analyze the causes and consequences of plastic pollution and recognize the complex relationships between human activity and environmental change.
• Systemic thinking: Students follow the path of the plastic particle through various ecosystems and recognize connections.
• Problem-solving skills: Learners work out the possible effects of particles on the environment and living organisms.

Level: 7th/8th grade
