Project GREEN (Garden Resources for Environmental Education Now!) is an educational tool to assist in the teaching of environmental education at the elementary school level. Project GREEN is different from many current educational practices because its major goal is to provide an interdisciplinary approach to environmental education by infusing activities centered around a hands-on tool, “the garden.” The main goal of this project included evaluating whether students participating in Project GREEN were developing positive environmental attitudes. Three schools throughout Texas participated in the study. Approximately 200 students were evaluated; 100 participants served as the experimental group and 100 non-participants served as the control group. Students were evaluated using the Children's Environmental Response Inventory (CERI), which measures students' attitudes about nature and human dominance over nature. This questionnaire also contained a section for biographical information. Comparisons were made between the experimental and control groups, as well as between gender, age, ethnicity, and time in the garden. Results examine the relationship between the garden program and environmental attitudes for both control and experimental groups.

Background: Entering puberty, a young girl will experience various changes. One of them is having menstruation. Menstruation is one of the critical events in life that girls should know. It happens because menstruation does not come once and then disappears in a woman's life, but there is a menstrual cycle that comes every month. Young girls need adequate information to deal with menstruation for the first time. Knowledge should be given to the young girl to deal with menstruation, such as physical and psychic changes. This study aimed to determine the effect of health promotion through animated videos on increasing the knowledge and attitudes of elementary school children facing menarche Methods: This quantitative study used a quasi-experimental design. The population in this study was all 5th-grade elementary school students who had not had menstruation. The sample size was 38 respondents for each group, intervention, and control Result: The results showed a difference in knowledge scores between the intervention and control groups with a p-value of 0.000. There was a difference in attitude scores in the control and intervention groups with a p-value of 0.031. Conclusion: There is an increase in knowledge scores and attitudes before and after the intervention. The difference in the intervention group's knowledge and attitude level scores and the control group and the animated video preparation of menarche influence knowledge and attitude.
