Among others Institute of Physics organizes lectures and workshops for children from kindergarten and all school levels, takes part in annual events (Science Festival, Researcher’s Night), publishes Foton and Neutrino – the science quartelies addressed to pupils and physics teachers, leads Świetlik (Firefly) – a National Contest in Science for Primary School.
Activities with the Fibonacci project
Building up knowledge about IBSME methodology and transfer of knowledge and experiences of active learning methods among the Fibonacci centres.
Dissemination of IBSME methodology in the society of science teachers from primary schools:
- teacher training sessions and instructive lessons in classes participating in Fibonacci
- development of pedagogical materials
- development of the experimental kit
Pilot for Greenwave.ie in Poland.
Information about this project in Polish
Projekt Fibonacci ma na celu popularyzację nowoczesnych metod nauczania przyrody w przedszkolach, szkołach podstawowych i gimnazjach. W szczególności skupia się na metodologii IBSME - edukacji opartej na odkrywaniu wiedzy poprzez zadawanie pytań. Metoda ta z powodzeniem została już wdrożona w wielu programach w Unii Europejskiej, m.in. w programie POLLEN, który był prekursorem obecnie realizowanego projektu.
