2. Introduction
• During the past few
years we were
working on our
main goal which
became the brand
of our school –
making projects for
science
popularisation.
3. • As a teacher of
natural science I am
facing problems with
large lesson plans
which do not alow
much time for
developing some of
the important
student skills such as
observing, analyzing,
reasoning and
initiative.
5. • Also, Science
House Foundation
provided us with
platform for
learning and
presenting the
results:

lobalscope.org/
6. • Within each class
students were given
to choose what to
microscope related to
the specific topic.
Also, students had to
find a way how to
introduce and
incorporate their
findings into the
lesson unit.
Project
7. • For example,
pupils conducted
the experiment
with rose petals
to explain the
changes in nature
caused by
pollutants.
8. • Most importantly,
the students
themselves choose
what to learn. They
decided which
parts of the lessons
are worth more
attention.
9. • Their findings are
presented in the form
of blog posts. Each
article was like a
small lesson with the
corresponding
micrographs and
movies. They also
commented on other
student's results.
10. • Students wanted to
share their
experiences in
working with the
microscope with
other children. That is
why we participated
in the international
festival of science in
our city.
Science fair
11. • This inspired us to
organize a school
science fair, with
less visitors and
participants than
the international
festival of science,
but it was more
beautiful because it
was ours.
12. • I can not claim that
students have
improved they
knowledge and that
they would have
learned less using
conventional way of
teaching. What I know
is that they gained
some new skills and
had the joy of
participating in the
mentioned activities.
