Natural science education module

Teacher Rasa Kirkaitė

Objectives

From biology, chemistry, physics and natural history, we will discover incredible secrets, amazing theories and examine some interesting experiments.

Topics

  1. Transport of substances (discussing and observing examples in the environment). Practical: Study of the phenomenon of osmosis (potato slices, solutions of different concentrations); Diffusion (using food coloring and more); Turgor pressure (with a balloon or plants).
  2. Photosynthesis. Experiment by observing the value of light intensity, determining oxygen release, etc. (Required – Elodea twigs).
  3. How cells breathe (creating a module).
  4. Cell specialization (depending on the available tools, perhaps observation through a microscope, if not another visual presentation), discussion, brainstorming.
  5. From cells to the organism – “what about me?”, human energy needs, digestion.

 

Module “Interesting History (1)”

Teacher Algis Bitautas

Objectives

Module “Learning from nature (1)”

Teacher Raimundas Žaltauskas

Objectives

To provide knowledge and ways to learn about the world around us, to see the processes taking place in nature. During the classes, various experiments that require simple, usually easily found tools in nature or at home, will help students learn about the environment, understand the processes taking place in it, and love and preserve the world around them. During the classes, chemical properties of substances, physical natural phenomena are studied, models are created, and the results of observations in nature are interpreted. This encourages them to become active researchers who know the environment and are able to make environmentally friendly decisions.

Topics

  1. Determining geographical location. Orientation in nature.
  2. The reaction of organisms to humidity in the environment.
  3. Determining wind speed.
  4. Temperature measurements. Heat.
  5. Properties and flammability of materials.
  6. Decorative crystals.
  7. Atmosphere and its pressure.
  8. Weightlessness. Propagation of sound waves in air.
  9. Change in water volume. Surface tension. “Cartesian diver”.

Expected result: Able to analyze the studied phenomena occurring in nature, understand the processes taking place, be able to use essential concepts and laws, explain the practical application of these phenomena.

 

Module “Learning from Nature (2)”

Teacher Raimundas Žaltauskas

Objectives

To provide knowledge and methods on how to get to know the world around us, see the processes occurring in nature. During the classes, by conducting various experiments, which require simple, usually easily found tools in nature or at home, the students will be helped to get to know the environment, understand the processes occurring in it, love the world around them and preserve it. During the classes, the chemical properties of substances, physical natural phenomena are studied, models are created, and the results of observations in nature are interpreted. This encourages them to become an active researcher, familiar with the environment and able to make environmentally friendly decisions.

Topics

  1. The Golden Rule and the Fibonacci sequence of numbers in nature.
  2. “Sorting”.
  3. Surface tension of liquids.
  4. Transpiration of plants.
  5. Determining the effect of vision on maintaining balance.
  6. Determining the dominance of body parts.
  7. Electromagnetic radiation and human health.

Expected result: Able to analyze the studied phenomena occurring in nature, understand the processes taking place, be able to use essential concepts and laws, and explain the practical application of these phenomena.
