Promoting Scientific Literacy by Teaching in Primary Education the Issue of "Biomass for Biodiesel"

Abstract

In exploring the integration of biomass education into the primary education curriculum for biodiesel production, the purpose of this study is twofold. Firstly, it aims to highlight the importance of incorporating renewable energy concepts into early education to foster environmental consciousness and sustainability practices from a young age. By teaching students about the potential of using biomass for biodiesel, they can develop an understanding of alternative energy sources and their impact on reducing carbon emissions. Secondly, this study provides practical insights into how educators, as the key players, can effectively implement biomass topics in primary school classrooms. The provision of strategies, resources, and lesson ideas empowers educators, making them feel capable and confident in their role. This ultimately equips students to address the challenges of a changing world. Through this dual purpose, the study not only empowers educators but also contributes significantly to the ongoing discourse on sustainable education practices in primary schools, making them feel part of a larger, impactful movement.
