Students explored an innovative biotechnology solution using microalgae to absorb CO₂ and produce oxygen. The liquid tree helped students understand photosynthesis, gas exchange, and climate solutions. The project connected classroom learning with real-world environmental technology. It increased awareness of how science can contribute to climate action.
The school wanted to explore innovative solutions to climate change and air pollution. The liquid tree was introduced to show how biotechnology can help reduce CO₂. It connects science learning with real-world environmental technology.
• Task 1: Study of the liquid tree and microalgae, focusing on photosynthesis, CO₂ absorption, and oxygen production.
• Task 2: Collaboration with SKYGARDEN and G2G ALGAE SOLUTIONS to implement and analyze this innovative green technology at school.
STEAM and SDG Justification:
• Science: Understanding photosynthesis, gas exchange, and the role of microalgae in environmental balance.
• Technology: Use of biotechnology solutions to address environmental challenges.
• Engineering: Analysis of the liquid tree system as an engineered environmental solution.
• Art: Visual documentation and creative presentations to communicate the project.
• Mathematics: Data collection and basic analysis related to CO₂ absorption and oxygen production.
Impact on SDGs:
• Promotes climate action through CO₂ reduction (SDG 13).
• Encourages innovation for sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11).
• Supports environmental education and awareness (SDG 4).
STEAM Project
Students learned how microalgae absorb CO₂ and produce oxygen. They understood the principles of photosynthesis and gas exchange. The project increased interest in environmental technology.
The initiative strengthened awareness of climate action and sustainable innovation. It showed students that science can provide real solutions. It also improved understanding of biotechnology.
Students researched the liquid tree initiative, which was created to fight severe air pollution in Belgrade, especially in areas where planting trees is not possible.
A team of Serbian scientist developed a biotechnological solution using microalgae to absorb CO₂ and produce oxygen.
The goal was to improve urban air quality through sustainable innovation.
Students studied the system, observed its functioning, and discussed its environmental benefits. They created presentations and visual materials.
