PROFILES Project

The main objective is the safety of the human body investigated by students with use of simple experiments. The safety of the human body in everyday living is the significant content for effective teaching-learning because of practical use and interest. This content can be implemented in family education as the transfer of information about the safety risks from school into families by means of students. This content develops better perceptions of science for students and society. Students are acquainted with human body parameters which can be expressed with the aid of quantities, units and laws. Also external conditions are very important for preservation of vital functions of the human organism including health. This module can develop students’ knowledge, understanding and skills to understand science law; measuring unites; applying knowledge in every day practice, interdisciplinary (science) integration of knowledge from separate subjects (Physics + Biology). The maim advantage of this module is his very high level of motivation.

The essence of this module is to show students that carbon is the fundamental building block of living organisms. Students verify the presence of carbon in organic materials using simple experiments. Students become familiar with the composition of organic compounds. They look for a link between carbon, coal, and wood and burned dish in a pan. They draw conclusions about the importance of carbon. It is possible using simple experiments to present not only carbon but also hydrogen and oxygen in organic matter.
