Last students mobility LTSDU

   From the 16th to 22nd April, our Italian partners held the last mobility within our project Erasmus + Let The Science Discover Us in San Giovanni Valdarno where 7 students and two accompanying teachers from our high school joined their activities. During these days, our students took part in several workshops related to students' projects, research topics such as anti-ageing, animals in extinction among others. They were working in groups formed by students from other partners' schools so this fostered their collaborative and communication skills, their autonomy and critical thinking while working on scientific issues that motivated them.
   Moreover, they could also get to know the Italian culture in their visit to Pitti Palace and Galileo Galilei museum in Florence, Montevarchi museum about anthropology or an interesting quest in Siena to study the hydraulic system of the town.

Project Updates Meeting

This Friday we have met with our high school's headteachers to share with them all the activities, meetings, experiments and cultural trips we did during the last mobility in San Giovanni Valdarno (Italy) last March. Here you've got some pictures and our presentation:

  

                       

Flipped Classroom PPT

   During our last mobility in ISIS Valdarno school in San Giovani Valdarno (Florence), we were introducing some previously chosen methologies that could be used in order to improve our science lessons at school, as a way to engage our students in science. Ours was Flipped Classroom

   We also introduce our attempts to use modern methodologies at high school such as flipped classroom, inmersive learning,cooperative learning, BOYD, learning by doing as well as project-based learning in order to get our students into science.  Here you've got the presentation that we explained and shared with our partners.

 

Short Term Projects Teachers Meeting @ Isis Valdarno March 2017

   From the 6th to the 11th March we've spent a few days at ISIS Valdarno school where all the teachers have taken part in different activities and project meetings.

    Our guests, the Italian teachers, made us a tour around the three different centres they've got, where we've been observing lessons, visiting laboraties and doing some experiments. We've also had some meetings to analyse the different methologies suggested to improve our science lessons such as Finnish Educational System, Flipped Classroom or our Czech partners introduced us to their Experimentarium park. We also met to decide future mobilities' schedules; among others, Czech Republic in May 2017 and Hungary in October 2017.

   It's been a rewarding trip where we have learnt a lot from our Italian partners, we also got into contact with the Italian culture and their daily life in Tuscany.
