2c Visits Naturerlebnispark

2c_Andritz-11_007

In line with the Biology unit focused on Water, 2C visited Naturerlebnispark in Andritz on Wednesday and Thursday, May 11 and 12. The first part of the excursion involved stations that answered the following questions:

a) How much water do various fruits hold?

b) What is the Rose of Jericho?

c) Why do different mineral waters have different tastes?

d) Why does an egg float is salt water?

e) What are the special properties of bärlappsporen?

f) What variety of life does one find in a pond?

 

The favorite activity was hunting for Kaulquappen, Teilmolche, Baby Hechte, Schnecken, Pferdeegel, Wasserskorpion and Eintagsfliegenlarven in a big nearby pond teeming with plant and animal life.

The second part of the field trip involved getting into groups of about six, formulating research questions, conducting experiments, and presenting results. Ask 2c students what their research questions were!

We had sunny weather, curious students and excellent presentations!
