Procedure:

Teacher: April 22 is a special day around the world. On that day inhabitants of Earth celebrate the Earth Day.

The earth Day is time when many people show that they care for our fragile planet. They show concern about threats the planet faces – destruction of the rain forests, holes in the ozone layer, the greenhouse effect, too much garbage. And all forms of air and water pollution. It is a day to preserve the planet Earth.

The 1^st Earth Day was held in the USA in April 1970.

Pupil: Walking along feeling free

Felling the Earth here with me
And I love her, she loves me.
I hug the Earth, the Earth hugs me.
She’s our friend,
We’d like to be together forever.
The Earth is a garden.
It’s a beautiful place.
For all living creatures,
For all the human race.
Helping Mother Earth
We can peacefully roam.
We can call our home.

Teacher: (Shows an apple) Can you use your imagination to think of what the apple could represent? (Rotates it by its axis).

Pupils: The Earth.

Teacher: Right you are. Look. (Teacher cuts the apple into quarters). Three quarters of the Earth’s surface is water and only one quarter is land. (Teacher cuts the piece representing land in half). Only one-half of the land, or 0.125 the total Earth’s surface is habitable. The rest of the land is the deserts, mountains, frozen ice caps, and other places people cannot live. (Teacher takes the piece that represents the habitable land and cut it into 4 sections). Only 0.25 of the Earth’s habitable land or one-thirty-second is where all the Earth’s food comes from.

What would happen if this part of the world were damaged or destroyed? (Teacher eats that piece of apple. Then s/he takes a small shaving off one of the slices that represents the water of the world). Less than one percent of Earth’s water is fresh and drinkable, and most of this water is tied up in the atmosphere (clouds) and underground.

The girl-“water”: The planet Earth is mostly water. Oceans cover the biggest part of it and there are lakes, rivers, streams and even water underground. All life on Earth – from a little bug to the biggest whale – depends on me – WATER. I’m precious. But you’re not doing a very good job of keeping me – water clean. In many places I have become polluted.

Pupil 1: Rivers and lakes are polluted by garbage or by poisonous chemicals which are dumped right into them.

Pupil 2: The ocean, which is a home to so much life is getting polluted, too.

(Video episode)

Pupil 3: Our mission is to save you, water, to keep you clean and healthy so people, plants and animals will always have some to drink and fish and other creatures will have a place to live.

A boy-“garbage”: I’m GARBAGE, ha-ha-ha!! I love you, people. You make me. The more you throw the bigger am I! Once a week the garbage truck comes and garbage cans are emptied. That’s the last you see of it. But what do you think happens to me then? Do I just disappear? No way!! You people are making so much garbage that I can lie in many places there is not enough room to bury me.

Pupils: Our mission is to act fast and cut down the amount of garbage we make. We can recycle; re-use materials instead of throwing them away. Then we’ll produce a lot less garbage and help keep our planet green!

The boy – “air”: Hello, my dear friends. I’m AIR. Until about 150 years ago, I was pure and clean – perfect for the people and animals of the Earth to breathe. Then you people started building factories. Those factories and many of the things you make, like cars, put a lot of harmful gases into air. You started driving cars, which added more pollution to the air. Now I’m ill. I’m so polluted in some places that it’s not always safe to breathe me. I was beautiful blue but now I’m brown. Some people call me “smog”.

Pupils: Polluted air is not only bad for people and animals but for trees and other plants, as well. In some places it’s even damaging farmers’ crops – the food we eat. So it’s very important for us to clean up the air we all breathe.

Pupil 1: Food is treasure from the soil and the sea.

Clean, fresh air from the plants and the trees.

The warmth of the sun giving life each day

Turns water into rain, it’s nature’s way.

And I would like to thank you Mother Earth

I like to see you dressed in green and blue.

I want to be by you.

Teacher: Do you know what a greenhouse is?

Pupils: Yes. It’s a building made of glass, where we can grow flowers and other plants that need a lot of warmth.

Teacher: Yes, you are quite right. The Earth is surrounded by a blanket of invisible gases that act just like a greenhouse. The sun shines in, and the blanket of gases traps the heat like a roof, keeping it close to the planet. That’s good – we can’t live without warmth.

But factories, electric power plants and cars are making a lot of new gases. Even trees when they’re cut down, give off the gases! These new gases are trapping more and more of the sun’s heat. (Teacher shows the chart). This is called the greenhouse effect or global warming.

If the Earth’s temperature gets hotter by just a few degrees, it could change the weather all over the planet. The places that are warm would become too hot to live in and the places that grow most of our food could get too hot to grow crops anymore.

How can we help the Earth?

Pupils: We can use less energy, protect plants and trees recycle materials and ride our bikes.

(Video episode)

Tape script: Each year there are more and more people live on the Earth, yet the amount of water we have to use remains the same. When we turn on the faucet, fresh water flows out from the same reserves in the ground, from the same rivers and streams.

If you imagine a day without water, you realize how precious it is. But with a little care, you can use water without wasting it.

People use our oceans and waterway for food, transportations, trash disposal, energy and recreation. Because the oceans have seemed so vast and our water supplies have seemed too abundant, we haven’t been careful.

Now we need to change the way we think and act. We need to repair the damage that has been done.

All of us can help to protect our lakes, streams, rivers and oceans. By being a leak detective, a water saver and a beach buddy you can make a difference.

Teacher divides pupils into groups and they create environmental slogan for their city/town.

(Приложение 1)

Teacher: Our town needs the rules to live according to. Can your create them?

Pupils create the rules “How can we save the environment of our town?”

(Приложение 2)

Teacher: Here are some ecological symbols. Can you finish each of the drawings?

(Приложение 3)

Teacher: Look at the board. This is an Earth Day wordsearch. Find the words:

April, clean, day, earth, pollution, recycle, reduce, river, safe, water, plant, animal, planet, land, ecology, environment, twenty second, species, wildworld, waste, save, reuse, endangered.

Teacher: We’ve got a telegram from our foreign friends. Let read it.

Earth Day in Your Neighborhood

HOW TO DO AN EARTH DAY ON YOUR BLOCK THIS SPRING

A Guide for Kids from 2 to 122

 WHY DO AN EARTH DAY ON YOUR BLOCK
Because it's fun and it is good for the environment and the neighborhood
CELEBRATE THE ENVIRONMENT
Because parties are fun, they are an easy way to learn things. An Earth Day can be a party that reminds us of what we know about living gently on the Earth and show us new things to do. People feel better after sharing a good time together. They talk and get new ideas to help the Earth. Then they have a good reason to act on what they learned. Just as the Fourth of July reminds us to love our country, Earth Day reminds us to love and care for the Earth and our fellow creatures. If every neighborhood lived in harmony with nature, most of our environmental problems would be gone.

CELEBRATE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD
A stronger feeling of friendship on the block will make people feel better about their block. Stronger friendships on the block mean that people will look out for each other better. More people out doing things on the block can help reduce crime because people who want to steal don't want to be seen. There may be people who need help on your block. But if no one knows them, then no one can help. Your Earth Day will help people get to know each other.

Teacher: Our party is coming to the end. Now all of you are admitted to the Union of Kids for Saving Earth.

Our promise is (all together):

The Earth is my home.

I promise to keep it healthy and beautiful.

I’ll love the land, the air, the water and all living creatures.

I’ll be a defender of my planet, united with friends.

I’ll save the Earth.

Pupils get badges with the sign “Healthy soil, Healthy Food, Healthy people”.
