From March 29 to April 26, 2025, the Astana
International University is running the “Children’s University” project for
school students. As part of this initiative, first-year chemistry students
organized an educational ecological event titled “We Are Friends of Nature!”.
The purpose of the event was to raise students'
awareness about the importance of protecting the environment, enhance their
ecological literacy, and encourage care for nature.
Throughout the event, schoolchildren explored various
ecological phenomena through five laboratory stations. At each station, they
performed safe and engaging chemistry experiments while expanding their
ecological knowledge.
·
At
the “Photosynthesis” station, students studied the process of
photosynthesis in plants and discussed the role of greenery in nature.
·
At
the “Red Signal” station, they learned about preventing ecological
disasters and minimizing harmful impacts on the environment.
·
At
the “Air” station, students investigated the composition of air, its
changes, and how it affects the natural world.
·
At
the “Ecoregeneration” station, ecological factors influencing
environmental changes were discussed along with solutions to prevent them.
·
Special
attention was also given to the topic of forest fires, their harmful effects,
and methods of prevention.
At the end of the event, faculty member G.M. Nurgazina
expressed her gratitude to all participants and thanked the youngest students
of the Children’s University for their active involvement.
This event became a valuable opportunity for
schoolchildren to deepen their understanding of ecology and develop a
responsible attitude toward environmental protection.
