5.10 integration into learning and/or other ongoing activities
If the project focuses on pupil involvement, please explain how the project will be integrated into the curriculum / learning activities of the participating pupils in each of the participating organisations.
And/or
If your partnership mainly deals with pedagogical or management issues, please explain how the project will be integrated into the ongoing activities of the participating organisations.
During the process of preparation the collaborating teachers focused on their national curricula, materials, methodologies and pedagogical strategies. They were aware that the project activities should be integrated into regular activities of the schools and be included in the curriculum of the participating students. The teachers recognised educational issues which exactingly corresponded with the areas encompassed in the subject of the project.
On regular basis pupils from the various schools will gain knowledge about natural environment and its potential dangers in various lessons. Working on the project in biology classes pupils not only learn how the scientific research is carried out. They will discuss various methods of doing experiment and how to collect and analyse results. The students will learn how to present qualitative and quantitative data in it is accessible for the community to understand. They will observe their nearby surroundings, take care of chosen plants; they will find out the role of eco-systems and conduct experiments. Older students will comment on the reliability and validity of their findings and possibly comment on previous findings in the area. They will observe the food chains and food webs that are on-going in the area and possibly discuss how a change in the natural surroundings will affect the energy flow. They will indicate the influence of pollution on the fauna and flora and they will present their proposals of the ways of prevention of pollution. In language lessons they will learn how to write reports and learn proper expressions in English. In physics lessons students will learn basic rules of optics. In mathematics they will solve mathematical problems as well as prepare similar ones in English for their European partners. In Art lessons and Photography classes students will learn various photographic techniques and the rules of presenting the world of Nature. In ICT lessons they will send email, work on blog and Wikis, search the Net for information, present their work in the Internet Photo Gallery; they will be able to compress the file of photographs independently. Ethic or religion lessons can be used to discuss about the ideal situation of a symbolic Eden and reality.

The Germy Potato Experiment is designed to teach students about the importance of washing their hands through observation. To do this experiment, you will need three potatoes, hand soap and three plastic bags large enough to put one potato in each.
My English friend suggested "various methods of making experiments", I could find another solution (an English English teacher's proposal: conduct or carry out...)
