Science on Stage Greece continues to exchange best practice teaching ideas

The delegates of Science on Stage Greece held a workshop with the title "Energy: Look at its forms, find out its conversions, on a… fantastic bike ride!".

The following topics were discussed in this workshop:

1. Theoretical remarks on the concept of Energy, its forms and its transformations. Misunderstandings and alternative ideas of students on this topic.
2. Presentation of the construction and the parts of the bicycle with its conversion and transfer of Energy devices. Description based on photos, slides and live videos from the School Science LaboratoryofSerres.
3. Suggestions for didactic use of the bicycle and its experimental devices for students of preschool to the high school level. Simulations, worksheets, collaborative environments, playful teaching methodology. Actionbound and Kahoot.
4. Evaluation of the project with multiple choice questions in the "Kahoot" environment, with the participation of 87% of the attendees and remarkable results.

The feedback of the participants rewarded our efforts of exchanging best teaching ideas and promoting an experimental approach to teaching science.
