ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCHES - A WAY OF GUIDING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
Journal Title: Journal of Science And Arts - Year 2012, Vol 21, Issue 4
Abstract
An air quality study using lichens as biomonitors was done by involving of high school students. After a detailed describing of every stage of the research and their personal studies, they have participated on the selection of study area, sampling and data notation, samples preparation, analytical study by EDXRF method, graphical representations and interpretation of results. In all of these activities students have applied basic and advanced knowledge’s from subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Math and IT; also, they have used modern instrumentation for analytical studies and modern software packages for data processing and interpretation; thus, they were able to understand the impact of human and economical activities on the quality of the environment and to present it to their colleagues in an symposium.
