Turkey, Water Research

Our 8 grade students and Science teacher, Mr. Ali Baloğlu, did several experiments on the water samples from the Marmara Sea and the Thermal area. They researched the water samples after filtering and they tried to find the turbidity, pH degrees and dissolved oxygen degrees.

Romania - weather diary activity

After a whole month – October – without any rain, we finally had a few showers on the first days of November; the team of “experts” were happy to go out and measure the quantity of rainwater gethered in the three special pots placed in the school garden. The water has a yellowish colour because of the leaves fallen in the pots.

Like everyday, the students also checked the temperature shown by the big thermometer attached to a bush branch at about 1 metre above the ground, as is said to be the optimum position in such observations.

Finland: adding words to the dictionary

This week classes 6A and 6B started to work on the wiki dictionary. First we collected words that have to do with water sports and recreation in Finnish. Then we talked about using dictionaries on the whole and tried to find the English equivalents for our words. We also used an on-line dictionary. Finding the right word wasn't always very easy, because there are soooooooo many words in a dictionary.

The last task was to add the words in the dictionary.

Making a snow depth gauge

Winter is coming to Finland and that means snow. During winter it is quite difficult measure rainfall in water millimeters. It is easier measure total snowfall in centimeters. To be able to do that we made measuring device to measure snow depth. Here is some pictures about building it and in use.

Water samples from the Marmara Sea and the thermal area

We took water samples from The Marmara Sea and The Thermal (a thermal area close to Yalova). 

Our students were very enthusiastic for both the trip and carrying out experiments on water.
