SDG 15 | Life on Land

The first and second classes at Grundschule am Kollwitzplatz had an exciting week. For four days, the topic was all about hedgehogs. Unfortunately, the European Hedgehog has recently been placed on the Red List and is therefore threatened with extinction! The pupils were keen to find out why this is the case, what insect mortality and other chain reactions have to do with it and, above all, what solutions can be found.

In the second week of July, the Grundschule am Buntzelberg was all about Grünauer Forst and a very special little animal: The heath fritillary. Through games, quizzes and a trip to Grünauer Forst, the children learnt a lot about biodiversity and its importance for our survival.

For five days, the pupils at Andersen Primary School were able to get to know an often underestimated animal - the grasshopper. Not only did they get to know the animal up close in the classroom and go on an excursion to the neighbourhood in search of it, they also learned all about its importance and its role in a functioning ecosystem and how we can protect it.

At Wilhelm von Humboldt Community School in Berlin, our project week on the topic of "Understanding and Preserving Biodiversity" went into the second round. An excursion to the learning biotope at Plötzensee was an essential part of the project. Moreover they produced their own song and creative comics.

Our project week with the third grade of the Phönix Primary School on the topic of biodiversity and species protection is coming to an end! The children learned a lot about biodiversity and how it can be protected. Here you can listen to the song they have created.

An exciting project week at Ringelnatz Grundschule (Ringelnatz Primary School) is coming to an end! Using the wolf as an example, the children explored the topic of biodiversity in a very concrete way. Only recently, wolves were reintroduced into the wild in Germany - and this allows us to observe how the extinction or growth of an animal species affects an ecosystem in a very concrete way.
