SLOVENIAN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES WITH LUČKA KAJFEŽ BOGATAJ, Ph. D. / PREDAVANJE O IZZIVIH PODNEBNIH SPREMEMB Z DR. LUČKO KAJFEŽ BOGATAJ

On the initiative of our school's ongoing Erasmus+ projects we have invited our leading Slovenian ecologist to give a lecture about today's most pressing climate change issues. We have invited our project partners to join the lecture as well.

Na pobudo Erasmus projektnih timov naše šole smo povabili vodilno slovensko klimatologinjo k predavanju o izzivih podnebnih sprememb.

SLOVENIAN ENVIRONMENTAL AGENCIES / SLOVENSKE OKOLJEVARSTVENE AGENCIJE

Slovenian students grade 9 have browsed the internet to find Slovenian environmental agencies.

They have written them a few questions and received some answers about issues that are most pressing for Slovenia at the moment. Slovenian students presented these issues to their Spanish peers in Erasmus + project.

Kolikšna je povprečna poraba vode na osebo?

 

Pri biologiji so učenci rešili anketo o Vodnem odtisu. Z anketo smo preverili ali imajo učenci realno oceno o tem koliko vode se dnevno porabi v gospodinjstvu. Anketo je v celoti rešilo 23 učencev.  Na vprašanje, koliko litrov vode porabi 1 oseba v vašem gospodinjstvu na teden so učenci odgovarjali zelo raznoliko od 2 l do 9000l.  Le trije učenci so ocenili, da je poraba na posameznega člana gospodinjstva med 100-250 l.  Učenci so v povprečju  oceni, da je poraba vode večja pri strojnem pranju in pomivanju kot pa pri ročnem. 

 

Učenci so odgovarjali na sledeča vprašanja (vprašanja so reševali preko spletne ankete 1ka):                   VODNI ODTIS

Pri biologiji smo govorili, da je voda nujno potrebna za življenje. Voda je sicer obnovljiv, a zelo krhek vir. S to anketo oceni približno količino vode, ki jo porabi tvoje gospodinjstvo. Prosimo, če lahko rešiš anketo med prvo uro biologije v tem tednu .S klikom na Naslednja stran pričnete z izpolnjevanjem ankete.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change at united Nations says we need to buy locally sourced seasonal food to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. Also, for example, beef cattle raised on deforestated land is responsible for 12 times more greenhouse gases than cows reared on natural pastures. Also, chocolated and coffeee originating from deforested rainforests produce high greenhouse gases.

ERASMUS + STUDENTS RECIPES EXCHANGE / UČENCI SO V OKVIRU ERASMUS+ SPOZNAVALI RECEPTE DRUGE DRŽAVE

 Na naši šoli se zavedamo pomena zdrave prehrane in priprave zdravih obrokov. V projektu E-gardens je poudarek tudi na usvajanju zdravih navad in miselnosti, ko govorimo o hrani. V mednarodnem projektu se učenci 8.b razreda še posebej povezujejo z vrstniki iz španske partnerske šole Purisima. Že od lanskega leta skupaj raziskujemo tradicionalne jedi; tako smo izbirali najljubše slovenske recepte ter jih prevajali v angleščino za španske prijatelje. Ti so izbrali najljubšega in nam vrnili svoje predloge. V tem prazničnem decembru pa naši učenci s pomočjo mentorice v udobju svojega doma raziskujejo sestavine, ki bi jih lahko vključili v izbrane slovenske tradicionalne jedi in jih mogoče nabrali kar na domačem šolskem vrtu. Raziskovali so tudi njihov doprinos zdravju telesa. Ker se v decembru še vedno šolamo na daljavo, smo kar nekaj delavnic izvedli s pomočjo videokonferenc in spletnih orodij. Tako smo se npr. dobivali na Zoom urah ter svoje ideje zapisovali v Padlet. Učenci bodo praznike popestrili s pripravo tradicionalnih jedi, posnetke  pa delili s španskimi prijatelji. V aprilu 2021 se z njimi srečamo s pomočjo Zooma.

Inovativna tandemska aktivnost, ki poteka med slovenskimi in španskimi učenci, je nova oblika poučevanja in učenja. Učitelj učencem ne podaja novega znanja na tradicionalen način, ampak jim ponudi priložnost, da izkusijo in v polnosti sodelujejo v izbranih dejavnostih. Učenci se povezujejo z naravo, soočajo z resničnim svetom, pridobivajo znanje o navadah in prehranskih značilnostih prijateljev drugih dežel. Učenci se s sodelovanjem z vrstniki učijo o drugačnosti in, kar je naši skupini sodelujočih učencev najbolj pomembno, uporabljajo in nadgrajujejo svoje znanje angleščine. Preko aktivnosti se učenci učijo uporabe digitalnih orodij kot so Zoom, Mentimeter, Padlet, ter uporabo eTwinning platforme in Moodle učilnic, kjer izdelke naših učencev tudi objavljamo.
