Pupils and teachers from Italy, Malta and Sweden collaborate and construct their common Science Learning Resources. Important keystones for the project are; pupils are the active part in the process, creative use of new ICT tools, Science Learning Resources are developed, train communication and language skills.

Each teacher/school sets the frame work for their area and connects it to curriculum. A sub group of pupils on each school chose the actual experiment, prepare and develop the introduction of their experiment. It is important that the experiments could bee carried out with a basic set of materials, (preferably only such that could be found in a common house hold). Instructions are arranged as film clips uploaded on twin space. All schools are carrying out that experiment. One experiment is dealt with at a time, a full circle are carried out during a month. * Set up experiment. * All participants prepare their experiments, and formulate their hypothesis on what results is to be expected. * Flash meet where hypothesis is discussed * Experiments are executed * Hypothesis and actual results and are discussed on a flash meet. * The schools evaluate the experiments and the collaboration process together. One school concludes the final result and prepare a Learning Resource based on recorded flash meetings and film clips. Another experiment is launched and a new collaboration round is started. hide
