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.

          

Carnival Day @ INS Marina

   On the 24th February, staff, teachers and students celebrated what is called as "Carnestoltes", that is to day, our Carnival day at high school. It's the day to celebrate it in a fancy dress, dancing and eating chocolate non- stop!

Next Stop...Italy!

   For a week, from the 6th to the 10th March, we're speding some days in Italy, visiting our Italian partners at Isis Valdarno where we'll attend some seminars and workshops, visit museums, do some presentations and work on the project as well as meeting their culture and customs. We're looking forward to it, a presto!

Logo of the project

   This was the winner logo that is going to represent our project "Let The Science Discover Us" from now on. After voting for the best logo, this one got the highest amount of votes from coordinators and teachers. Congrats Turkey!

WORLD AIDS DAY on the 1st December 2016

   World AIDS Day is held on the 1st December each year and it is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. Therefore, all the partners of our project also had the chance to show our support holding red sheets to form a lace in front of the townhall in La LLagosta, Barcelona. Good job!

Experiment in the Physics Classroom

   Our Physics teacher, Carlos Garcia, has developed a quick experiment in which students have seen how they can slow down the accelerated dropping motion of an object until getting a simple MRU thanks to the change of the fluid density.They have used air, water and glycerine. 

   By doing these experiments, students can learn more actively.
