On Wednesday 20 May, there will be a science day for our MYP2 students, dedicated to the theme of energy, with a focus on nuclear science. This full-day learning experience is designed to deepen the students’ understanding of both the science and real-world implications of nuclear energy.
Schedule and Activities:
- 08:15 – The students arrive at school and begin the day with an engaging discussion on nuclear energy, followed by a documentary about the Chernobyl disaster.
- 09:55 – Snack break in the classroom.
- 10:30 – Departure from school: students meet at the reception and walk together to the Tuš carpark, where a bus will take them to the Nuclear reactor infrastructure centre in Brinje.
- 11:00 – 13:00 – At Brinje, the students will attend a presentation on nuclear fusion – energy of the future, participate in a hands-on workshop, and explore an educational exhibition.
- 13:00 – 13:30– Return to school.
This science day will be a valuable opportunity for the students to connect classroom learning with real-world applications, and to experience science in action through interactive sessions and expert insights.
Important Notes:
- The students must bring a pen and a folder to complete a handout provided during the day.
- It is recommended that the students bring a small bag with a bottle of water.
- Use of mobile phones is not permitted during the event.
- All the students are expected to display respectful, inquiring attitudes throughout the visit.
- If your child is excused from the field trip please inform the homeroom teacher in advance.
Coordinator: Mr Saša Krapež, MYP physics teacher. We look forward to an exciting and inspiring day of scientific exploration!
