This article analyzes the theoretical foundations, didactic approaches and efficiency factors of forming ecological culture in students during natural science lessons. The development of ecological culture is one of the priority tasks of the education system in today's conditions of globalization, rapid technological changes and increasing environmental problems. The study highlights the mechanisms for directing students' worldviews to ecological awareness, ecological responsibility and the ideas of sustainable development based on the integrative capabilities of natural sciences - biology, geography, chemistry and physics. Also, modeling environmental problems in the lesson, conducting experiments, conducting observations, searching for solutions to problem situations, and using project work are justified as effective educational strategies. The article analyzes practical methods such as working with real natural objects, keeping ecological observation notebooks, studying the local ecological situation, and developing the activities of school ecological clubs. The conclusion substantiates the role of the teacher in the formation of ecological culture, the interrelationship of lesson design, innovative methods, and learning motivation.
