"The Search for the Best Garden" is a project organized during April 2022 with ten-year-old students. The activity is interdisciplinary in nature and aimed to distinguish between favorable and less favorable conditions for farming.
The complex topic related to the environmental problems that humanity faces for ten-year-olds was presented through a series of experiments that they conducted, and based on the conclusions they reached, they gained knowledge about what a greenhouse is, how the greenhouse effect affects global warming, what salinization is and how it affects soil fertility, how soil enrichment can be increased slash and burn by using wood ash from burning wood (the area where the school is located is rich in forests and most households use wood for heating during the heating season).
The second part of the activity, in addition to the educational one, also had a creative character, and the goal was to find algorithms for the creative transformation of waste from the kitchen and classroom.
