This means that the students of the class create their learning material themselves. At the same time, they will gain hands-on experience about the environment around them and learn to work in a group.</div> <div> </div> <div>The project can be completed in various different ways. You can complete the assignments one by one, or collect their answers into a single report. The final report can include text, pictures, videos, interviews, the results of group assignments, etc. <br/> <br/> The goals of this project are that you learn to:</div> <ul> <li>observe and study the world around you.</li> <li>classify living organisms in a biological manner.</li> <li><span>ask questions about the world around you.</span></li> <li><span>find areas of biology that interest you.</span></li> <li>take the opinions of others into consideration.</li> <li>work in a group.</li> </ul> 2020-12-08T23:28:34+02:00 https://peda.net/id/53fb83e3399 2020-07-22T12:49:10+03:00 <div>Form small groups and complete the following assignments.<br/> <ul> <li>Define what parks are.
