Abstract

Advances in elementary school curriculums supply theoretical lessons about environmental education; such an approach does not hold much information according to the topic, indicating that younger pupils’ level of knowledge is really depressed. In order to ensure effective environmental education, learning must be taught utilising a short piece of theoretical lesson that only offers the fundamentals and provides experiential experiments that illustrate scientific principles. Such activity gives even the weakest pupils’ the motivation to study the subject in a fun way and allows the pupils’ to learn at different levels thereby providing them with a practical and theoretical understanding of the material. Holon Institute of Technology (HIT) prides itself on its advanced academic achievements, application of innovative techniques that lead to creative teaching and new technologies. The students (Jews and Arabs) from HIT took part in action learning course that teaches environmental education by experience at Arab elementary school.
Keywords: Environmental education, elementary school, Hebrew, Arabic.
