Abstract
The article explores the methods of fostering environmental education through the teaching of the topic “Carbon and Its Compounds” in the secondary school chemistry curriculum. In modern education, the teaching of chemistry should go beyond learning the structure and properties of substances; it should also promote the development of students’ ecological culture and responsible attitudes toward the environment. To this end, the paper analyzes interactive teaching strategies, project-based activities, and opportunities for interdisciplinary integration. The proposed methodological approaches create favorable conditions for nurturing students’ sense of responsibility toward nature and for applying chemical knowledge to the solution of environmental problems.
