Target groups
-
12 students from the local
-
12 partner school students aged 16-18.
Methodologies
-
Students were provided with primary materials and had to find solutions on how to build a portable water power station.
-
The students took the role of teachers.
-
During the project meetings, they discussed the laws of physics, rules and information about inventors.
-
They set the tasks to be solved by applying the laws and theory.
-
Solving the tasks served as proof that they correctly grasped the theory.
Environments
-
Our school supports environmentally based activities, exploratory teaching methods and linking theory and practice.
-
Students worked not only in class building the model of the water power station but also tested it outdoors on water courses and rivers.
-
Publishing a Handbook of Physics presented at the conference for teachers and students of basic and secondary schools which is still used in teaching Physics.
Teachers
-
The teachers’ role was mentoring, coordinating and organizing project meetings.
-
The teachers of Physics from partner countries had a chance to compare teaching methodologies.
-
Teachers of the German language - project coordinators- improved their organizational and digital skills and learned a lot about the partner country’s history, culture and educational systems.
Impact
-
The participants learned teamwork, practised time management, presented the results of their work and honed the skill of logical argument and conclusion.
-
Increasing students' interest in natural science in theory and practice.
-
In the laboratory, students proved the possibilities of electrical energy production from sustainable sources.
-
In practical testing, they could observe demonstrations of particular laws of Physics.
-
Project participants gained confidence in foreign language communication.
