THE ROLE OF PHYSICS IN THE FORMATION OF STUDENTS' ECOLOGICAL CONSCIOUSNESS

Today, environmental problems are one of the most pressing issues on a global scale, and science, in particular physics, plays an important role in solving them. This article analyzes the process of integrating environmental education into physics. Analysis of scientific literature and practical experience were studied as research methods. The results showed that the combination of physics and ecology has a positive impact on the development of students' ecological consciousness and scientific knowledge. This approach also increased pedagogical effectiveness and led to the development of new educational modules on environmental issues. The integration process encourages students to take a more responsible approach to environmental protection. In conclusion, the inclusion of physics in environmental education is an effective tool that contributes to the formation of environmental consciousness and sustainable development.
