Over two-thirds of the European population live in cities. Enabling those cities to deliver services sustainably while keeping their citizens safe, healthy, prosperous and well-informed is amongst the most important challenges in this century. \r\nThe Urban Science European project is an education response to this, to improve the teaching of scientific inquiry and investigation so that students develop the competences to actively contribute to creating healthy cities.\r\nUrban Science works through outdoor inquiry-based learning where urban areas become living-laboratories that help students explore how science can create healthier and sustainable places to live. It is solutions based; placing a strong emphasis on creativity and problem solving to ensure scientific understanding can be applied in a meaningful context.

SOLAR CAR: ReducIng air pollution coming from transport
English
Spain
Why are solar cars of interest in the EU and throughout the world? In Cyprus, as in many other European countries, solar car races attract people’s interest. Groups of students and adults design and build their own cars to participate in these competitions. Furthermore, big car companies invest money and technology in future solar-powered cars. This task aims to provide students with opportunities to discover the significance of adapting and using solar energy in transportation whilst exploring relevant mathematical and scientific content. Students complete a number of activities in mathematics, science and technology, applying knowledge from all three disciplines. Building on existing understanding and working on interdisciplinary activities, students will design, build and operate a model solar car.

DESERTEC: solar power plants in the desert.
English
Germany
Can we produce clean energy from the sun in the desert? Solar power plants are regarded as one possible solution for future energy supply problems. While dealing with this question, students will be exploring mathematical and physical principles and problems concerning solar power plants in the desert. How can electrical power be generated? Which type of mirror is suitable for solar power plants? How many power plants are necessary in order to meet Europe’s energy demand? How can this energy be brought to Europe? Discussing possible ways of implementing the project “Desertec” is the final step of the teaching unit
