Presentation of the lesson plan on "Water and Hydration" at the 7th SPWatFCL Brussels 19-21 June 2015

1. Help me --- Please --- I am thirsty
Group 3
Makris Nikolaos - Science in Primary Education
Ester Micό Amigo-Technology in High School
Toza Silvia - Physics
Suba Gabriela –Physics
Mariada Muciaccia – Science (Chemistry, Biology and Earth

2. Scientix Resources

3. Scientix Resources

4. Class
11 years – 15 years old
Working groups of 4 member each
Time: Project 1 month
Objectives
Students will learn:
To create a video
The phenomenon of transpiration
To understand the role of bacteria in human body and the pathogenic results
The phenomenon of reflection
The phenomenon of water change phases
The technological methodologies of design – create from material – process

5. Drama

6. A group of 4 people after an accident they had with their van they decided to
walk in the desert to find their way to the nearest village….
Staring with drama ………………
After time walking in the hot sand in the middle of the dessert they had drink
all the water they already had and feeling exhausted start to become thirsty
as well……
…… and they feel more and more thirsty.

7. After some hours they find an oasis

8. Each team create a video about the situation in “Create Corner in FCL”

9. The sweating of each body and the transpiration is very high ....
Biology – Teach the phenomenon of transpiration and the effects in the body

10. In their back packs they have a pizza box, tissues, aluminum foils,
scissors, metal bottles, tapes, pen, paper, mirror, sponge, flashlight
The group in desert have to decide what could be done to find a solution
A questionnaire given to student’s teams asking for possible actions
A. Drink water immediately.
B. Wait and try to clean the water.
C. Anything else you can imagine or create.

11. The answers are pointing in the “Present Corner” of FCL

13. Possibility 1
Drinking water immediately
Biology – Teaching about bacteria and the pathological effects in human body.

14. “Investigate corner in FCL” Can be used microscope and virtual animations
about bacteria and they multiplication

15. Possibility 2
Wait and try to clean water (example – with tissue)
Biology – Nothing would change as Bacteria could survive in physical
environment and are to small to clean them with tissue.

16. Possibility 3
Something else!!!!!!
Physics: Teaching about light reflection
Teaching about energy
Teaching about water phase change

17. Evaluation: Open problem situation
Taught about above topics students can think to schedule and create a possible
solution
Technology: Help students to design – create from simply material – think
about process
