Dear Ana, Did my request for partnership of this project (Natural Sciences Experiment Book) arrive on your desktop? After your approval, we must wait the approval of our NSS coordinators, it take almost a week. After the approval of NSS we can work on the platform of the project (Twinnspace). My idea is to make a simple book with experiments which we do in lab with our pupils. You said you do this year a course with some experiments, right? I make some Chemistry experiments too....we will put together in a book (online and pdf version) too We will realize a book with the lab reports, photos, conclusions of experiments, films (if possible). I want that all our messages are in twinnspace, because to evaluation of projects, this are very important. For the first step write me exactly what kind of experiments you'll do in the classroom. Very important for me is collaborate and put together all our ideas....so, I wait too your points of vue about the project. Lidia
Dear Ana, I answer you in red on your lines!
Lidia Mînzã I (Ana Aragón) wrote to Lidia some ideas about our project: •

Pupils will usually have to write, so we need to think about the way (to collect thier e-mails, to organize pairs and a public platform...) Have you got any idea about how to do it? Each teacher's blog with her students the and then general blog? Only a comon blog! Yes, we will collect their e-mails and then make known to 2 classes, they can choose the pair....or they will comunicate on a blog, under our supervision. We can make a magazine with well-chosen news on Chemistry and Biochemistry and add them, for exemple, each two/three weeks. We'll have to translate them into English as well. No magazine, is not the main objectiv I think we can reserche historical experiments related with ours. Yes I'm thinking of doing experiments like: substances in food, digestion, substances in urine, photosyntesis, respiration in cells, fermentation, making crystals, separation of substances, polution in water -nitrate...- You know sometimes experiments go on at school and sometimes don't: I need to take my time to solve problems. OK Perhaps we might make a dictionary with tecnical words: I mean our students must do it (with our help and wiki's help) The dictionary was the idea of my team for "science is everywhere", we can not to use it! We can not use other's ideas, other's educational products!

Perhaps we might organize an interview on a chat ...to an expert in Chemistry or Environment. Difficult to organize so many activities, you 'll see....but is a very good idea! I have to speak with the teacher on Chemistry in my shcool in order to he could use your experiments and you can do the same with the teacher on Biology in your school.Yes, no problem, my colleague will involve if I need help! What do you think about all of this? See you soon: Ana
