Less Water More Future - Project Blog

ΜΑΡΙΑ ΓΟΥΣΗ, 42nd Kindergarten of Larissa, Greece   At our school's summer festival, we presented to parents and all our guests the activities we carried out in the eTwinning project "Less Water More Future". We sang about the sea and urged everyone to follow our slogan "No litter in seas and beaches this summer too!"

ΜΑΡΙΑ ΓΟΥΣΗ, 42nd Kindergarten of Larissa, Greece We created a digital poster with the slogan "Respect water – respect life!" The posters created by all the collaborators and their students became a short film as a  public service announcement for World Water Day on March 22nd. It was created using artificial intelligence tools to add movement and speech to the images. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJqbk3YF-ow   

ΜΑΡΙΑ ΓΟΥΣΗ, 42nd Kindergarten of Larissa, Greece All the partners with their students create the game “Help the Drop Save the Glaciers” We enjoy to play it!

  ΜΑΡΙΑ ΓΟΥΣΗ, 42nd Kindergarten of Larissa, Greece We experimented with clean ice cubes and ice cubes covered with salt and observed how everything melted in the sun. The ctudents noticed that the ice cubes that were covered with salt melted faster. We created a simple anemometer. When the wind blows gently the ribbons move a little while when the wind blows strongly the ribbons move a lot. The movement of the ribbons also shows us the direction of the wind. We had planted plants in our school yard. Now that the weather is warmer, they need water to grow. We take care of our plants by watering them when needed.

  ΜΑΡΙΑ ΓΟΥΣΗ, 42nd Kindergarten of Larissa, Greece Simple rain collector Which one has more sand? Which one is heavier? We moved the same amount of sand into containers of different shapes. Did the amount of sand change? Experiment: In one container we have dry sand and in the other we have wet sand. Which of the two is moved more easily by air? The students placed trees around the lake to hold the soil in place and prevent it from being blown away by the wind.

ΜΑΡΙΑ ΓΟΥΣΗ, 42nd Kindergarten of Larissa, Greece Factory for filtration/clean waste management The students built bridges with bricks and other materials so that the Damla drop could cross the river. We experimented with water to see which objects float in it and which sink. Then, after discussion, we found out that this is why the waters of rivers, lakes and the sea, as well as their bottoms, are polluted by useless objects.

ΜΑΡΙΑ ΓΟΥΣΗ, 42nd Kindergarten of Larissa, Greece COLLABORATIVE WORK ON DECEMBER "What can be done to naturally trap pollutants of factories, to make it act as a filter?" We created posters with our students, after discussing the problem and solutions, with artificial intelligence and came to the conclusion: Natural solutions like trees, green walls, and wetlands can act as filters by trapping and absorbing factory pollutants, helping clean the air, water, and soil in an eco-friendly way.

Glaciers and its importance to our natural waters and ecosystem During our less water more future project, in an experiment children made their own glaciers, one with soil and one without it and test the durability when exposed to sun.

May 9th is eTwinning Day Our work for May 9th eTwinning Day. 

  SCIENCE The children were divided into three groups. The first group was given soil from the school garden, the second sand, and the third stones. Each group placed its material on a plastic plate. Then, the children filled a glass with the same amount of water and, before pouring it, made predictions about which material would absorb it the fastest. After pouring the water, they observed that the soil absorbed all of it, the sand absorbed less, while the stones did not absorb any water at all. Finally, they concluded that plants can grow in soil. ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY "THE RAIN BARREL" The children built a simple rainwater collection system. First, they drew a house roof on red paper and glued it onto a house model. Then, they painted paper towel rolls gray to use them as gutters, and used a cut plastic bottle to create the barrel. Using a watering can, the children poured water onto the roof and observed how it flowed through the gutters and was collected in the ba...
