1️⃣ Power Up! – Energy & Water Conservation

🔹 Key Concepts:

• Energy is the power we use to do work — like turning on a fan, cooking food, or driving a car.

• Renewable energy comes from nature and never runs out — e.g., sun (solar), wind, and water (hydro).

• Non-renewable energy comes from fuels like coal and petrol — they cause pollution and can run out.

• Water conservation means saving every drop by using it wisely.
  

💡 Smart Habits:

• Turn off lights and fans when you leave a room.

• Fix leaky taps.

• Reuse water for plants.

• Use buckets instead of long showers.

• Prefer daylight over electric lights.

2️⃣ Trash to Treasure – Recycling & Waste Management

🔹 Key Concepts:

• Reduce, Reuse, Recycle — the 3 Rs of waste management.

• Biodegradable waste (like food and paper) breaks down naturally.

• Non-biodegradable waste (like plastic) does not decompose easily.

• Recycling means turning old things into new — e.g., waste paper → new notebooks.

• Composting turns food waste into fertilizer for plants.

💡 Smart Habits:

• Carry cloth bags, not plastic.

• Sort waste into dry and wet bins.

• Donate old toys and books.

• Upcycle — make crafts from used bottles and boxes.

  
  

3️⃣ Wild & Water Wonders – Life on Land and Below Water (SDGs 14 & 15)

🔹 Key Concepts:

• SDG 14 (Life Below Water): Protect oceans, rivers, and aquatic life.

• SDG 15 (Life on Land): Protect forests, wildlife, and plants.

• Forests give us oxygen, medicines, and food.

• Animals and plants depend on each other for survival — this is called an ecosystem.

• Pollution, deforestation, and overfishing harm biodiversity.

💡 Smart Habits:

• Plant trees and care for them.

• Avoid throwing waste in water bodies.

• Learn about endangered species.

• Support wildlife sanctuaries.

4️⃣ Nature’s Tech – Simple Machines in Everyday Life

🔹 Key Concepts:

• Simple machines make work easier using less effort.

• Types:

  • Lever (see-saw, scissors)

  • Pulley (flagpole)

  • Inclined Plane (ramp)

  • Wheel & Axle (bicycle)

  • Screw (jar lid)

  • Wedge (knife, axe)

• Nature also inspires machines — e.g., bird wings → airplanes!

💡 Smart Habits:

• Observe machines around you.

• Repair instead of replace when possible.

• Learn how things work — curiosity saves waste!

  
  

5️⃣ Go Green Routine – Eco-Friendly Living Made Fun

🔹 Key Concepts:

• Eco-friendly living means making choices that are good for the planet.

• Avoid single-use plastic.

• Grow plants at home or school.

• Save paper — go digital when possible.

• Share, borrow, and donate.
  

💡 Smart Habits:

• Celebrate “No Plastic Day.”

• Join an Eco Club or community clean-up.

• Decorate with recycled art.

• Be a “Green Influencer” — spread the word!
