Earthquake safety tips’ lesson during the eHAND Erasmus+ “Enceladus” meeting in Oreokastro 23-27 April 2018, by Georgios Chatzigeorgiou

“Earthquake Safety Tips”, Georgios Chatzigeorgiou, biology teacher, 2nd General Lyceum of Oreokastro

What is an earthquake?  Do all earthquakes cause problems? What do we need to do to be prepared to deal with an earthquake?

An earthquake is a natural phenomenon that often affects Greece and other countries on the planet. Most earthquakes that occur in our country do not cause any particular problems, but some are very strong and have an impact on humans and buildings.

The Earthquake Planning and Protection Agency recommends that we be prepared to be able to protect ourselves during an earthquake and also to have the appropriate anti-earthquake behavior after the vibration.

STEM & IBSE in action: earthquakes and engineering in the classroom (Erasmus+ eHAND meeting at the 2nd General Lyceum of Oreokastro – Greece), by Eftychia Karagianni & Christos, Alexakis

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.

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.

“Enceladus” eHAND meeting in Oreokastro – 1st Day report

 

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
