Gabi Craciun- Benefits of Underground Waters- STEM2

PROJECT PLAN ON STEM METHODOLOGY Teacher`s name : Crăciun Gabriela 3rd C grade Topic: BENEFICII : Underground waters A. Curricular aspects - Competences • Observing some dynamic aspects of the surrounding reality (viewing the story "The Story of Groundwater") • Forming questions that lead to the need for an investigation to find the answer • Collecting data useful for investigation from different sources • Involvement in the choice of working methods, in establishing the necessary resources • Identifying features of bodies, phenomena, processes by making simple experiences - Demonstration of the underground water concept • Making drawings / comics / schemes to illustrate what has been learned from informative texts, following the observations and the experiment • Participate in interactions to find solutions to problems • Organization of a survey data in a table or graphical representation for the purpose of compiling or solving problems

CONTENT 1. TOPIC APPROACH How does modern life influence groundwater?

(Training of working groups)

2. INTRODUCTION TO SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY - The concept of "groundwater"

3. DEVELOPMENT OF ACTIVITY - Introduction to the "Benefits" activity: Groundwater types . - The importance of groundwater - Making the layout

4. EVALUATION - Presentation of the project

A. Approach to the theme or hypothesis The main purpose of the activity is to understand the concept of "underground waters" by discovering their characteristics and how they affect modern life.

What benefits can the groundwater bring into our lives?

The activity took place in the classroom and consisted of studying drawings, plans, schemes explaining how groundwater forms.

Explained terms such as permeable rocks, impermeable rocks, aquifer, groundwater, mineral water, thermal waters, captive waters.

Technology / Engineering

Technology The activity took place in the computer lab. Students have compiled a CLIL dictionary using Word and the Google Translate app.

Science

Remarks

Science The activity took place in the chemistry lab.

Experiment: groundwater formation Students could directly see which of the rocks used have a higher permeability that stores more water, what happens when the layer is saturated.

Technology The activity took place in the computer lab.

1. Watching material about the importance of groundwater

Science 1. The math math is required to play the game "Say something about ..". It will be used as a dice. Each student throws the "dice" and will say something about the notion written on the upper facet.
