4. Flexible
- Be flexible: everybody
has to deal with his/her
own syllabus, lesson
programme and school
situation.
- What you already do in
regular lessons
- Exchange and stay open
to other new activities

5. Cross curricular:
Chemistry
Biology, English, ICT
Art

6. Students steer their own
learning process:
After teaching the theory:
- Ask students what they
think is the most annoying
effect of alcohol
- Let them think of ways to
warn their peers for those
effects
- Let students interact in
any possible way

7. Alcohol Survey
Consumption of alcohol
amongst European teenagers.
Survey

8. Aim Of the survey:
• Maltese Biology students need to carry
out a scientific investigation as part of
their final GCSE exam.
• It entails a lot of work, so it has to be
interesting enough to motivate them to
complete it in an appropriate way.
• Alcohol is an innovative topic that
arouses interest amongst all teenagers.

9.  The survey was set
online to facilitate
communication
amongst all partner
schools.

How did we manage to
work together?

14. Experiments
Use each other’s
material in the lessons
Feedback

15. Aim of the experiments:
• Italian students carry out a scientific
investigation as part of their biology
curriculum and possibly of their final
exam.
• They use the CLIL methodology to share
with partners and so they study biology
in English. This is a motivating way to
study part of the curriculum.
• Our lab is not well equipped so we use
experiments carried out by our Maltese
partners as a brainstorming or an
introduction to the lesson.

17.  Observations
Pupils investigated
how alcohol is
produced. They
discovered yeast. In
