- Include photos of the labs at the school
- Presentations ready by the latest the 20th December (earlier if possible)
- Each school should attach thier presentation to the school webpage, sending the links to each school participating in the programme so that they can all have a look (the webpages are on the forms)

- Turkey/Spain: Hasn´t chosen yet
- Once the scienists have been chosen (everyone follows the same steps)
- Information can be found from the internet, school-books etc.
- What kind of study?
- Historical – to locate them and thier importance in history
- Discoveries
- Relevance to the contemporany age – What were thier contributions to science and our practical life? Has life changed thanks to their discoveries? How important were the discoveries?
- Students do the research; collect the information and put it all together (each individual step)
- Layout of presentation
- Each school follows the same layout and presents the information using power point. Follow these steps and use these titles and subtitles:
Name
His life – must be 2 pages (include pictures)
Where he/she worked and lived
His/her historical background
Important fact which influenced his/her life
His discoveries – 2 pages including pictures
(Information about which were his/her most important discoveries. Describe them or at least the most important of them.)
His/her relevance today – 2 pages including pictures
Say why was he/she was revolutionary
What aspects of everyday life have been influced by his/her discoveries?
Interview with the scientist – maximun 3 minutes
One pupil plays the interviewer and one pupil plays the scientist (unless the scientist himself can be interviewed). The background must include equipment/tools that the scientist used in his discoveries. The clothes worn by the pupil (scienist) must resemble the period of the scientist.
- Presentation must be completed by 18th April
- Sunday 19th April 2009 – Friday 24th April 2009 (project meeting in Italy ‘ must bring the presentations to Italy)
- It is essential to arrive on (or before) the Sunday so that work can start on Monday morning
- 10 people in total – need to know the number of students/the number of teachers and the budget.
Put all these things on a CD and bring it to Italy.
Produce two brochures (one with each scientist) to give phisically to our authorities. They must be ready in April to bring them to Italy.
1st page. Must include a photo or a drawing, the title of the project, “Comenius Project”, the names of the 4 schools, and at the top the time 2008-2009
2nd page. It deals with the Biography of the scientist.

Comenius Meeting Continued:
Point Number Five: It is possible to do one laboratory experience. We will simply record this, because it is a great deal faster.
-When we come to Italy, we will watch it.
- Record one of the science professors doing an experiment in the laboratory. The teacher or the students must explain the laboratory experiment in English.
-The type of experiment truly depends on the scientists that the school chooses.
-One of the main aims of this project is for the students to become aquainted with scientific method.
-In the schools where it is possible, these experiments will be carried out. These experiments will be shown at the meeting in Italy. The experiments should be explained very slowly-IN ENGLISH.
2. Project Meeting in Italy
BRING:
1. Class and school Presentations
2. Two Brochures of the scientists
3. A C.D. with the experiments recorded
In Italy we shall watch the presentations and experiments and prepare a joint brochure between all the schools
-The last phase is the joint brochure:
1. School presentations
2. Participants presentations, which is always the same.
3. Information about the scientist without the interview (Include why they were chosen.)
-At the meeting the individual projects shall be compared and shared, so that a descision can be made about how to present them
-After the meeting one country will collect all the ideas. The information must then be printed and presented to the headmaster, local authority etc.
**Deadlines must be met!**
-The presentations should be up to five minutes long. The students and teachers can use a power-point presentation.
