1. What is steam project?
STEAM is an educational approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and
Mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking.
2. What is SDG?
The Sustainable Development Goals or Global Goals are a collection of 17 interlinked global goals
designed to be a "shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the
future". The SDGs were set up in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly and are intended to be
achieved by 2030.
3. What is greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when energy from a planet's host star goes through its
atmosphere and heats the planet's surface, but greenhouse gases in the atmosphere prevent some of
the heat from returning directly to space, resulting in a warmer planet.
4. What type of gases does humus add to the atmosphere?
The thick brown or black substance that remains after most of the organic litter has decomposed is
called humus. Earthworms often help mix humus with minerals in the soil. Humus contains many useful
nutrients for healthy soil. One of the most important is nitrogen.
5. What are the 17 SDG goals to be 2030?
The 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) to transform our world:
GOAL 1: No Poverty
GOAL 2: Zero Hunger
GOAL 3: Good Health and Well-being
GOAL 4: Quality Education
GOAL 5: Gender Equality
GOAL 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
GOAL 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
GOAL 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
GOAL 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
GOAL 10: Reduced Inequality
GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
GOAL 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
GOAL 13: Climate Action
GOAL 14: Life Below Water
GOAL 15: Life on Land
GOAL 16: Peace and Justice Strong Institutions
GOAL 17: Partnerships to achieve the Goal
6. What is effect gas concentration ice age till 2022?
The global average temperature was around 4C cooler during the last ice age than it is today. There is a
real risk that, if emissions continue to rise, the world warms more this century than it did between the
middle of the last ice age 20,000 years ago and today.
7. What is greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases are the gases in the Earth’s atmosphere that produce the greenhouse effect. Most
greenhouse gases can have either a natural or an anthropogenic (man-made) source.
8. How we can reduce the emission of greenhouse gases?
Greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by making power on-site with renewables and other climatefriendly energy resources. Examples include rooftop solar panels, solar water heating, small-scale wind
generation, fuel cells powered by natural gas or renewable hydrogen, and geothermal energy.
