2.DESTINATARIOS (courses and number of students):
3 º ESO 4 º ESO Total 48 students.

3.JUSTIFICACIÓN (how comes the need for this activity):
In subjects like biology and geology and English of 3 º and 4 º ESO addressed content related to the environment, including some environmental problems facing us humans from our own use activities and resource use natural.
has decided to conduct a joint activity involves an analysis of the causes and consequences, or chain of effects, which are contributing to state that we are in the so-called "6th extinction". In addition, students will develop a mural individual or couple schematically explaining the causes and consequences of the 6 th Extinction or environmental issues in general.
This process of rapid and massive extinction of species is related to Global Warming, by all the different environmental problems associated with it. GLOBE
This activity is being studied as a set of content whose correct learning will be of great importance in understanding the environmental content from the point of view of environmental education, related to the knowledge of our environment locally, regionally and globally, and the importance of their care, prevention and protection.
The analysis of the so named "Sustainable Development" will also be an important part of this activity and environmental education that we seek, since it will think and analyze many aspects that characterize our everyday lifestyle.
