Cyprus, Board Game

The students created a board game related to their geographical research. It was an exciting activity which the children enjoyed a lot.
The board game is a memory game that consists of 21 pairs of cards with the WikiWaterWorld's flags, longest rivers and largest lakes.
Wishing you a lot of fun! Enjoy playing it!

 

Cyprus, Exploring Geography

The children in their Geography classes explored some WikiWaterWorld geography!
They spotted the seven countries in the european map and they made a research concerning the longest rivers and largest lakes of each country.

 

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. 

Preparing for the visit in London

Before the visit in London the students of Zespół Szkół Uzdrowiskowych were very busy. They prepared the bookmarks for the British students and the older students with their educators - small glass paintings for our partner schools. They packed everything very carefully and said good bye to our mascot - Hadwalunia.
See some pictures.

New school year with WIKIWATERWORLD in Poland

The students of Zespół Szkół Uzdrowiskowych, Poland started their new school year with new energy and next activities. See what they have been doing.

We keep watching the presentations from  our partner schools:)

We are still working on the letters in a bottle...

...and keeping in touch with our partner class. Here while preparing something for our Turkish friends:)

Water samples from lake Puula

Two girls from class 4A (Otava school) took water samples from lake Puula. They were also taking pictures from there. 

Watersamples from a swamp

Otava school's third class made a trip into forest nearby. In the forest there is a little swamp. There pupils took watersamples which other classes are going to research afterwards. Water wasn't everything we found. From the swamp we found also cranberries so everyone got a taste of bitter wildberry. We also had our lunch by the fire. Of course we fried some sausages.

Romania - getting ready for weather report

As soon as we came back from the London meeting, we spoke to the pupils about the WIKI "weather journal" and we formed some groups who would be in charge of this activity. Right in front of the school they have put the rain measuring devices and the thermometre. The physics/chemistry teacher, Viorica Cortojan explained to the students how, how often and when to measure the temperature and the quantity of precipitations.
What if it rains at night and especially if it pours? We could approximate, I suppose. Or search other "sources".
