Science students grade 8 Matias Miller and Oscar Olin, the leaders of the joint project "How X-RAYS affects plants development", visited 12.04.2010-17.04.2010 Vesterledenskole in Herning, Denmark in order to conclude their international investigation. In Herning Matias and Oscar summarized all countries results in a presentation. The presentations conclusions raised many question among the audience and was lively discussed. Everyone agreed that the cooperation and the investigation had succeeded. We thank the Swedish Technical Academy in Finland for their support.
Their presentation is found here and pictures here .
Science student (SC1) Michelle Riska was awarded a diploma and a prize of 100€ due to her essay on "The Universe" (available in Swedish).
Glodez Natasa, teacher from Slovenia will visit us on 24 - 26.03 2010 in order to familiarize with Science teaching in our school.

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION 2010:
Our partner schools will start a joint research on how radiated seeds of radish (with X-rays) grow in different types of soil. The study takes place within 20 to 22 days simultaneously, in France (www.lyc-moulin-pezenas.ac-montpellier.fr), Turkey(www.ramazanattilisesi.k12.tr), Slovenia(www.o-volicina.si) and Denmark (Vestervangskolen). The results will be presented and discussed in Denmark, April 2010. The coordinator of this investigation is Botby Junior High Schools science students.
Science students 1 and 2 begin to establish contacts with students from Lycée Jean Moulin in Pézens, France, via e-mail to find common areas of scientific research.
Week 3. The following groups in the project "Radiated Seeds" has been formed.
