The preschool period is a critical period in which children acquire basic skills and shape their personal development. In our age, raising children's environmental awareness, instilling a love of nature and an understanding of sustainability has become an important goal. The positive attitudes and behaviors that will develop in children towards recycling will enable them to become adults who love nature, value the environment they live in and reflect the understanding of sustainability in their lives. STEM education is an approach in which children learn by rote and then forget what they have learned; it is an approach in which children learn by doing and making what they learn permanent. The aim of STEM education is to enable individuals to gain 21st century skills such as creative solutions to problems in daily life and critical thinking with the knowledge gained from the fields of science, technology, mathematics and engineering. Introducing children to STEM education in the preschool period will enable them to acquire and internalize these skills at an early age. With this project, it is aimed for our preschool students to learn recycling in depth and to gain 21st century competencies (critical thinking, problem solving, cooperation, communication, technology literacy, etc.) through interactive reading books and interdisciplinary STEM activities.
