Science
- The student learned about the greenhouse effect and its role in climate change, understanding how certain gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere.
- They explored the impact of human activities on the climate, including the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions.

For continued development, students can engage in hands-on experiments to observe the effects of greenhouse gases, participate in climate action initiatives in their community, and analyze real-world data related to climate change.
