Teacher Planning Discussion >
Hello from Croatia
My name is Anamarija. This is the second time that I'm participating in ISCFC with my students. I teach Chemistry in my school and this year two of my colleagues (one is Biology and the other one is Geography teacher) are also part of this with their students. We plan to use results in our classes and to discuss them from different aspects.
Dear Anamarija - welcome back! Please share your specific plans for the discussion with your students if you want -- I'm sure other teachers will be interested to hear your classroom plans with the ISCFC
Dear Jason, in one topic students learn about acid deposition and pollution. With ISCFC results we have broaden students knowledge about their impact on atmosphere composition, emission of greenhouse gases and reactions that take place in atmosphere and lead to pollution. Students were mostly surprised by the carbon footprint based on transport, particularly travelling by plane. We realized that, although we are not able to have effect on everything, even small changes in our lives (like turning off light bulbs when we are not in room) can lead to smaller carbon footprint and that matters.
great, thank you for sharing, and yes it's important to focus on what you can change!
I don't know if Kruno already used class results in geography but I will remind him to share it with you.
