On the 29th of May the MYP had a Science day with the purpose of spreading awareness about the fires in Kras in 2022. The main topic of the day was the empowerment of citizens to help nature recover from the impact of climate change with ‘the Forest Institute of Slovenia’. They were teaching the students how to make seed balls, which are balls made out of earth, clay and a single seed, while learning about the consequences of the fires of Kras and learning the history of the forest.
Before that the students had a preknowledge kahoot quiz: https://create.kahoot.it/share/bee-day-quiz/052d6bfe-b48e-4b79-b6ad-7678d64904e9 – try it out!). After the quiz they made the seedballs they were learning about. The seed balls will be planted in autumn. To finish the day the students had a short learning unit about bees and a short reflection.
