STEM & IBSE in action: earthquakes and engineering in the classroom.
Eftychia Karagianni, Science teacher-Physicist,,& Christos, Alexakis, Mathematician, 2nd General Lyceum of Oreokastro
As concerning the European Erasmus+ Programme, our school, the 2nd General Lyceum of Oreokastro is planning to run a STEM lesson titled “Earthquakes & Engineering in the classroom”. Although we cannot escape earthquakes, as they can happen in any unpredictable time, we can resist them by designing anti-seismic buildings (hospitals, houses, skyscrapers, bridges, roads etc).
Engineers use small or full-scale models to investigate a structure’s response to an earthquake: how safe would the building be in an earthquake and how could it be improved. The STEM lesson that we’ll be carried out in our school is based upon the above idea and it includes 3 activities.

5th Day Report
Students worked in international teams on creating a leaflet/booklet about the most important tips/pieces of advice on what to do Before, During and After an earthquake. They also took their own pictures depicting those tips and then presented their work to the whole e-HAND team.
After the presentation of Alexandros Terzopoulos’s scientific paper “Nitrates…”, the teachers of the seven schools had a meeting to evaluate the meeting and plan the next steps of the project.

On Thursday 26th April we had an educational trip to Mount Olympus and the Centre of Environmental Education of Eastern Olympus. We were informed about the activities and all the projects the centre is involved in and then enjoyed a few kilometers’ hike in the woods of the notorious mountain.
In the afternoon, we visited and were guided through the treasures of the Museum of Vergina and the Ancient Macedonian Royal Tombs of Aiges.

3rd Day Report
3rd Day’s activities started with a CLIL Lesson titled “Are you playing games with me? Are you serious? A different approach to environmental awareness.” Students in mixed teams played an environmental online game created by the Danish government and one of our teams even won a certificate!
We then visited an exhibition about the great earthquake of Thessaloniki in 1978 at Islahane organized by the Department of Geology of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and also participated in the Festival of Environmental Education of Western Thessaloniki with a presentation of e-HAND by an international team of students.

E-hand report 23.04.18
Our first day started with some ice-breaking activities when the students were given posters with a short description of each student’s hobbies and interests and our task was to find a person who the paper belonged to by talking to each other and communicating.
The second activity was based on team building and trust. We all had to stand in two lines holding hands with our eyes closed while the teacher was flipping a coin (either heads or tails) to the first person and depending on that we had to squeeze the person on the right’s hand in order to pass “the electricity” to the last student to, once again, squeeze a toy. The team with the most points was the winner. Συνέχεια ανάγνωσης
