Abstract

Fungi are integral components of a forest environment, but they are often overlooked in elementary education, despite their crucial role in nutrient cycles. Concepts pertaining to fungi diversity were researched and compiled to be part of the 5th grade curriculum of Centro de Educación Creativa. The result of this project was three PowerPoint presentations, each coupled with 2-3 visual aids, experiments and/or activities. I expect these presentations to aid in the environmental education curriculum at the C.E.C and to promote an appreciation of the Kingdom Fungi. Los hongos son elementos integrantes del ambiente forestal, pero a menudo no están representados en la educación primaria, a pesar de su posición crucial en los ciclos nutritivos. Se investigaron los conceptos relacionados con la diversidad de hongos y se recopilaron datos para el temario de la clase de quinto grado del Centro de Educación Creativa. Los resultados del proyecto fueron tres presentaciones en “PowerPoint”, cada una acoplada con dos o tres ayudas visuales, experimentos o actividades. Yo espero que estas presentaciones sean incluidas en el currículo en educación ambiental en el C.E.C y promuevan el aprecio del Reino de los Hongos.
