The Science of water

Students attend lessons of geography, science and Maths in relation to water.
During Geography, they learn about the different sources of water and they make hydro-maps. During the Science class, they observe experiments with water.
During the Maths class, they calculate the amount of water that is consumed annually at the level of the partner schools, based on the survey results.
Students go on field trips, take samples of water from the nearby lakes, rivers and analyse their quality with the aid of special equipment or in collaboration with specialized institutions.
They summarise the findings in reports.

Water and the future

Students attend interactive lesson about causes and effects of pollution. They watch films about the threats of water waste and discuss the possible measures to take in order to stop this phenomenon.
They learn to organize a local campaign from an NGO specialist and work in teams to apply what they learn. After these activities all schools organize a Water Day in the school, where they apply the campaign.
Then, the partners think about ways to make the schools more water-friendly and come up with a plan for this.
