Sustainable development has three components: the environment, society and the economy. If you consider the three overlapping circles of the same size, the area of ​​overlap in the center is human well-being. As the environment, society, and economy become more aligned, the area of ​​overlap increases, as does human well-being. Therefore, education for sustainable development (ESD) is about using education as a tool to achieve sustainability. Simply put, ESD is a way to make the world a safer, healthier, and more pleasant place to live in for us and future generations (McKeown, 2002, pages 7-9).PopulationChildren in grades 3-12 5th grade move from “learning to read” to “reading to learn” and from “learning to write” to “writing to communicate”. Students learn to work independently. They learn to read words and form mental images. Students in grades three through five also learn to write paragraphs, short essays, and stories that make their point. The program becomes more integrated. “Read to Learn” helps third- through fifth-grade students better understand the scientific method and how to test hypotheses about the physical world. Additionally, “read to learn” helps students graph and calculate scientific observations and then write up their conclusions. Third grade science lessons will open new worlds of wonder and invite the curious mind to explore (Williams, 2012). Children in grades 3 to 5 are very sociable. They learn more about values ​​and respect. Students are also encouraged to develop their written communication skills through diaries, newspapers or short stories. They work quickly and have a short attention span. Third through fifth grade students are very competitive. This age group works well in small groups or with partners.
