First, the students studied some characteristics of Antarctica in History and Science. In Portuguese, they read some news about the problems Antarctica is facing due to global warming, and in Science the students experimented and observed the causes of global warming (ice-melting and acid rain). In ICT they understood the importance of satellites for the Planet´s observation, in particularly of the changes that occur in Antarctica and in visual education they draw its flag. They finished thinking about their actions and the way they influence global warning, and built a comic about the topic.

Through the experiences and news the studentes were able to verify the consequences of the thaw and acid rain. Could not complete or collect more data due to COVID19 (Closed School).

With the school closed and the project in the middle, the students were able to understand that our attitudes affect even the most distant beings and made awareness posters, with drawings and in BD
