当前和未来的科学、技术、工程、数学和医学 (STEMM) 学生必须应对本世纪最紧迫的科学问题之一：气候变化。与我们最小的学习者一起教授气候变化知识需要做好准备，并扎根以促进成长、创新和可持续性。与小学生一起建造社区花园是实现气候正义的一种方式，因为它提醒我们所有生物都是相互关联的系统的一部分。本文介绍了一个五年级气候变化行动项目，该项目是符合国家科学标准和下一代科学标准 (NGSS) 的单元的一部分，重点关注如何利用科学学习来保护地球资源和当地环境。该单元的锚定现象和教训突出了帝王蝶的年度迁徙，这是一种当地濒临灭绝的物种和现象。通过在花园里种植马利筋，学生们了解了帝王蝶的迁徙、生命周期、温室气体和生存。本文为教育工作者提供了建造花园的想法和实用建议，并概述了如何在学校社区内实施该项目。
Current and future Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine (STEMM) students must grapple with one of the most pressing scientific issues of the century: climate change. Teaching about climate change with our youngest learners requires preparation, and planting roots to foster growth, innovation, and sustainability. Building a community garden with elementary students is a way to act towards climate justice as it reminds us about how all living things are part of an interconnected system. This article describes a fifth-grade climate change action project that was part of a unit that aligns with the state science standards and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), focused on how science learning can be used to protect the Earth’s resources and local environments. The anchoring phenomenon and lessons of the unit highlighted the annual migration of the monarch butterflies, a local endangered species and phenomenon. By planting milkweed in the garden, students learned about migration, life cycles, greenhouse gases, and the survival of monarch butterflies. This article provides educators with ideas and practical suggestions for building a garden and an overview of how the project can be implemented within a school community.
