Learning Scenarios
Learn about our Environmental Activities
Environmental scenarios is a set of activities/learning scenarios that are engaging, immersive and close to real life applications and will enhance students’ environmental responsibility and activism.
These scenarios represent student-focused activities with flexible structure that aim at actively engaging students to learn by doing.
The scenarios will include activities for outside and inside the classrooms and will be filtered according to 7 different topics, duration, age group, number of students participating and the age group. Overall, 70 learning scenarios are presented.
Experiential learning can be achieved inside and outside the classroom, in laboratories or in a natural environment.
Some experiential methods may include: field visits, role playing, games, debates etc.
Each activity is designed to contribute to specific learning outcomes and encompass equal opportunities for environmental activism, subject acquisition, and skill development.
Renewable water energy
IntroductionThese days a lot is spoken about sustainability, climate change, renewable energy. Hydropower plants and nuclear power plants are not unquestionably accepted, though.

Water and paper clip
IntroductionSurface tension is a fundamental property of liquids. It causes liquids to curve into the smallest possible specific surface area (sphere), if they are not subjected to external forces. The cause of surface tension is the cohesive force between the particles of the liquid (atoms, simple and complex ions, molecules, […]
Water flow
IntroductionThe most spectacular landforms are created by rivers. They move vast amounts of material, destroying and building, creating both negative and positive forms. The higher the flow and velocity of a river, the higher its energy and working capacity.Objectives• Developing problem solving, practical thinking skills• Developing social and mathematical competencesLearning […]
Water hidden in crystals
IntroductionWhen we think of water in a solid form, we usually think of ice, but there are a number of ionic compounds that have water molecules embedded in their crystal lattice, and not in small quantities. The incorporated water is called crystal water and the ionic substances are called crystal […]
