Environmental Studies explores the relationship between people, nature, and the resources we use. Through inquiry learning, students investigate real-world issues like pollution, climate change, conservation, and sustainability. Instead of just memorizing facts, they ask questions, test ideas, and develop solutions to protect the planet. Activities such as observing nature, analyzing data, and creating campaigns help learners connect science with responsibility. This method encourages critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. By linking local actions to global challenges, Environmental Studies becomes not just a school subject—it becomes a call to care for the Earth.
