Distant teaching activity
Teachers: Mario Di Fonza in collaboration with Sabrina Nappi, Riccardo Di Pietro, Rosanna Busiello
Age: 14-16 years old. February-march
Let’s start with some questions!
Which kind of lamps can we buy after the old incandescent bulb, invented by Edison, has retired? Which are the energy-efficient light bulbs and which ones emit less CO2 in the environment? Which parameter helps us understand how much light a light bulb really emits? How much money can we save using led lamps compared to incandescent lamps? How long can we keep the incandescent lamp on? How long does it take to pay back a led purchase? Students will learn different types of light bulbs on the market in order to know the consequent energy and money savings.
This activity could be introduced on April 22nd, “Earth Day”, a celebration of the environment and the protection of the Earth.
If you check the website http://www.golabz.eu/ you can read the descriptions of every activity.
We chose Inquiry Based Science Education (IBSE) methodology in which research is the most important task of pedagogical approach because it encourages students to ask questions and develop actions to solve problems and understand phenomena.
Subjects involved are maths,chemistry and physics
