Enthalpy and exothermic reactions  Students write a project with the local municipality authorities about a possible solution to decrease the amount of waste from households, public buildings and industrial businesses.  Food intake/waste  Biodegradable plastics Biology Chemistry English Biology Chemistry  Climate Action - Students actively participate in a solution for air pollution caused by local houses. Based on their acquired knowledge, they explain to locals how to change their behaviour in order not to harm the environment so much. Requires (technical) knowledge of the problems and also strong communication skills.  Students suggest possible solutions to the problem of plastic waste in the sea and what they could do about it themselves. They compare the effectiveness of suggested solutions and  create a “Plastic Sea“.  Environmental issues and species diversity changes  Environmental issues and species diversity changes Social Sciences  Semester project on environmental issues in Spanish speaking countries: students collect newspaper articles, videos, statistics and other sources on current environmental topics during three months, create a handbook and present the content in class including their own reflection and possible solutions - this will be a base for a whole class discussion.  Students discuss different decisions in history that led to worsening of environment and suggest solutions to these problems.  Students role play a situation of an investor who wants to start a big commercial project in their village.
