The same way, as the nature inspects that, a living creature was not lack of food, We can rightly say, that nature phenomena diversity is so huge and treasures hidden in heavens are just so rich in order to the human brain have never suffered from lack of fresh food, to allow human not to overfeed the old and not rest on his laurels , but always find the world as open workshop, which employs his mind.. Johannes Kepler
The problem
Why do we have to search for sources of alternative energies?The partner groups look for the information about exhausted sources of energy , they make presentations and share with them on eTwinning space, giving the answer to the question at the same time.
Inexhaustible sources of energy
1.The partner groups look for alternative, ecological sources of energy, make their decription ,prepare Power Point presentation and put them on the Twinspace.
2.Among all of them they choose three sources of energy, which will be the subject of research : solar, wind and water power.
Solar energy
1.Partner groups search for the information about solar power, applaying solar collectors and possibility of using solar power in their country. They make PowerPoint presentations and put them on the Twinspace.2.If it is possible they examine solar collectors system in chosen places they prepare films or Power Point presentations and put them on the Twinspace.
3.They make a device that demonstrates effects of solar power , which can be useful later as a teaching aid at school. Students work while making the device is documented as a film or PowerPoint presentation. The films or presentations are put on the space.
Wind energy
1.Partner groups search for information about wind power and wind power plants in their country.They make PPpresentations and put them on the space.2.If it is possible they organize trips to wind power plants-materials : films or presentations are put on the space.
3.They make a device that demonstrates, effects of wind energy which can be useful later as a teaching aid at school. Students work while making the device is documented as a film or PowerPoint presentation. The films or presentations are put on the space
Water energy 1.Partner groups search for the information about water energy and hydro-electic power stations in their country.They make PPpresentations and put them on the space.
2.If it is possible they organize trips to hydro-electic power stations materials : films or presentations are put on the space
3.They make a device that demonstrates effects of water energy. Students work ,while making the device, is documented as a film or PowerPoint presentation. The films or presentations are put on the space.
The final product
The summary of work:- students prepare e-albums- using prepared materials.
- they put the informaton about the project on the school Internet pages.
