This daylong program is based on a sequence of activities that give emphasis both on theoretical and practical aspects as well as on the aspects of the expression and evaluation.\u00a0It is organized in such a way that supports the conceptual development of students on both environmental concepts and issues and at the same time, its design enables a smooth transition from the simple to the complex, from the familiar to the unfamiliar and from the easiest to the most difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. The lake, a unique ecosystem<\/em>.<\/strong> <\/span>
\n Students are gathered into a special screening room where they have the opportunity to watch an excellent eco-documentary entitled Akrotiri Peninsula \u2013 An Environmental Tour<\/strong> created by the CYCERE\u00a0 as an introduction to its programs.<\/span>
\n Through an interactive discussion concepts related with the Salt Lake are highlighted and are discussed. In addition, the role and the functions of the Salt Lake are considered into the framework of the culture and the human societies. The emphasis of the program is focused on the flora and the fauna adaptations to the salinity of the Salt Lake. The pressures and the threats that the Salt Lakes receives are also considered and the need for conservation through appropriate environmental management practices as well as the adoption of attitudes and behaviors friendly to the environment are also stressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

2. Study and discover.
\n<\/em><\/strong>Students study and discover the variety of organisms found in the salt marshes.\u00a0 They are organized in groups\u00a0and they are asked to solve a problematic situation.\u00a0Students observe, record, collect samples and make measurements of biotic and abiotic factors at some stations around the lake.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. The salt lake and the man.<\/em><\/strong><\/span>
\n Students are gathered in the ecology laboratory where they observe through stereoscopes and microscopes, they plan and execute experiments, they analyze data and compare their results.\u00a0They discuss their concerns that arise and they draw conclusions. In addition, they\u00a0Investigate the relationship between the man and the ecosystem of the salt lake and they model populations using computer software.\u00a0They understand the need for sustainable management of the salt lake developing positive attitudes and values towards the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Expression – Evaluation.
\n<\/em><\/strong>Students participate in artistic activities and in activities of creative expression.\u00a0At this time, the program is also evaluated.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
