On 29 April 2025 together with Laura Casaldi from Università La Sapienza we participated in an EduMat+ Erasmus+ project test with teachers and students from Primary school Petko Rachev Slaveykov ОУ “Петко Рачев Славейков” – град Велико Търново“. Mrs Penka Davidkova and her colleague Mr Pandurski carried out an implementation of a mat 4: Climate change and responses test during a block of two lessons on deforestation and water pollution. The activities included:
Scientific activities:
• Creating a water filter from natural materials
• Conducting an experiment demonstrating how the ice-melting influences the sea-level
Technologies and coding:
• Creating interactive games in Scratch, based on the climate change story and main character – the Fairy
• Work with digital instruments and visualization of results
Integration of EN language:
• Work with scientific terms and explanations in EN
• Presentation of analysis and conclusions by means of short expressions and sentences in EN language
The event was inspiring for all participants – children, teachers and observers. The children demonstrated great skills and knowledge. The teachers led the process with exceptional mastery and at a very high level of understanding and use of STEM.
