The scientific project is based on comparisons of water ecosystems and associated physical and human environment in both countries and regions. 14-19 year old students of both schools in the Czech Republic and England will investigate a range of collaborative tasks via email, Skype and eTwinning during 2 years of project time. Topics for exploration include e. g. comparative studies of drinking water, procedure of wastewater treatment, water consumption. The project work will be enhanced by short term students exchanges where students will verify their hypothesis. The main results will be students lab diaries with all the hypothesis and results of the experiments, maps, pictures; pelmanism for practising vocabulary, raindrop stories created by students, twinspace, video about the project and a web page with all the information about the project. Teaching materials will be also distributed among other teachers to guarantee the dissemination of the project.
This scientific project was based on comparisons of water ecosystems and associated physical and human environment in both countries and regions. The main objectives of the project were improving students´ skills in science, math and literacy via practical tasks. Students aged 14-19 from Gymnazium Jihlava and Thomas Deacon Academy in Peterborough worked together on various tasks. Topics of collaborative tasks included comparative studies of drinking water, procedure of wastewater treatment or water consumption. This project work was enhanced by short term exchanges in both countries. Students of both schools were made active as much as possible. They participated in a crash course or workshops, did experiments, presented the results of the project and took part in dissemination activities as well. The main results of the project work such as lab diaries, pelmanism or posters can be seen at twinspace or project website.
