Dilulu's lesson plans are developed by experienced educators in collaboration with environmental experts and community practitioners. Each plan is designed to be culturally relevant, engaging, and adaptable to different learning environments, from formal classrooms to community settings.
Our lesson plans emphasize hands-on learning, critical thinking, and connection to local environments and traditions. They integrate core academic subjects with environmental education, sustainable practices, and traditional knowledge.
Students investigate soil composition, test soil properties, observe soil organisms, and learn about soil's role in supporting plant growth and ecosystem health.
Through experiments, models, and outdoor observations, students explore the water cycle, watershed dynamics, water conservation techniques, and traditional water management practices.
Students conduct biodiversity surveys, analyze ecosystem relationships, explore human impacts on biodiversity, and develop conservation action plans for their local environment.
Students learn about seed biology, traditional seed saving practices, the importance of crop diversity, and techniques for harvesting, processing, and storing seeds from garden plants.
Young children engage in sensory-rich activities that encourage exploration of the garden environment, building vocabulary, observation skills, and connection to nature.
Students investigate climate science, observe local climate impacts, explore traditional and modern adaptation strategies, and develop community resilience projects.
Students learn about pollination biology, observe pollinators in action, explore the relationship between pollinators and food production, and create pollinator habitat gardens.
Participants explore local food traditions, nutritional benefits of traditional diets, cultivation techniques for indigenous crops, and strategies for integrating traditional foods into contemporary meals.
Students investigate decomposition processes, build and monitor compost systems, observe decomposer organisms, and learn about the role of compost in sustainable agriculture.
