2006-2007 Coordinator “Science, environment and life” Project
Secondary School Jerónimo Emiliano de Andrade, Portugal, supported by National Agency for sciences and
technology, aiming to raise awareness to students by teaching of physics and chemistry through experimental
activities based on science, technology, society and environment approach. This project involved students from
7 to 12 year, allowing transversality of knowledge’s and its mobilization, as well as the use of new technologies
in particular computer, interactive graphic frames, calculators, data loggers (Texas instruments and in multi-log),
counters of radioactivity, Webcasting and use programs such as Word, Excel, power point, Windows Video
Maker etc.
2006-2007 European programme “Eurolifenet”
Azores Coordinator, Portugal. The main objective is to enable students to do science, and, to bring closer
researchers of social and environmental areas. Through this project, which aims at the systematic collection of
parameters related to air quality using the new technologies, students and teachers involved have the opportunity
to participate actively in a scientific study led by researchers from various institutions and reflect on their
attitudes where they are part of environmental problems and their solution. Technologies used: computer
graphics, calculators, sampling systems, GPS and Webcasting and webquest feature. Resorted to the use of
programs such as Word, Excel, power point, Windows Video maker, front page, etc. Project partners: Research
Centre of information technologies to a participatory democracy; the joint research centre of the European Union
(IES/JRC Institute for Environment and sustainability, Joint research centre, European Commission (Ispra,
Italy); living science, school of Education of Viana do Castelo, Faculty Technology CCDR-LVTCoordination
