Nowadays, the ecological crisis is a problem recognized worldwide. Apart from other problems, this one concerns all of us, regardless of where we live, or which class or faith we belong to. This problem isn’t only related to our well-being, but it’s directly related to the survival of humans. The ecological conscience of children and youth is developed in the process of education, and the most important factor of education is the school. The main goal of ecological education is to reach the level of maintaining a healthy relationship with our environment. Teachers have a very important role in this process. They should help students in building their ecological conscience, so that they can recognize their natural environment and protect it. In this paper, the concepts of sustainable development of environmental education are explained. Ecological teaching materials in schools, as well as the importance of teachers in the process of ecological education are presented. Project education is a form of teaching intended for the production of personal mini projects, which also include interactions with other subjects. These projects are supporting teamwork and partner relationship among all participant. They also stimulate research, organization, communication and critical abilities of students, as well as acquisition of scientific methodology. In the first part of this paper we discuss the ecology of human development and environmental education and the school as a factor in ecological education. The second part of this paper discusses project teaching and project classes in the first and second grade of elementary school in Serbia. The aim of this study is to point out the importance of project teaching, as well as the significance of ecology in it. The contribution of our paper is the fact that it is about project teaching, since teaching methods in lower grades of elementary school have changed in schools where project education is applied in Serbia.
