Proposals for Flora

Flora

Garden of our school (trees, bushes, flowers etc.) introduction
2) Typical plants in our area (parks, woods)
3) Typical vocation, craft, old customs (which use straw, cornhusk etc and make decoration for Xmas tree, classroom- young kids like it)
4) Reservations or National Parks (introduction of flora, fauna)
5) Conditions needed for the plants growth(the plants are grown in different circumstanses: add extra water, extra chemical fertilizer, extra music (Mozart is the best)Children can compare how strong and living they are by measuring (number of leaves, height …)

Proposals for Weather

Weather

1) A photo of a tree is taken every month, some children are around it showing their respect and love of nature, also to teach the partners about themselves, toys, clothes etc.
2) Record the temperature of that day in the morning-midday-afternoon; collect and measure wet; note the hours of sunshine; personal comment
Comparison of gathered data, making charts or diagrams
3) pH examination of rain/wet
4) Examination of lichen-refers to air pollution
5) Examination of dust in the air (by the road children put tape on the ground, they count the vehicles passing by and after 30 minutes they count the dust on the tape.
6) Exanination of dust on the leaves (refers to air pollution) put some tape and after removing it, kids can count the dust
