Learning activity details

Project themes that should be cultivate pupils in small groups, selected jointly for their interests. Three topics were chosen:
1. The fibers - the group decided to study the variety of natural and chemical fibers, their acceptance, production and use of the various areas of discussion. The students had to conduct historical research, when and why it is necessary to modify the natural materials of the chemical.
2. Chemistry digestion of food - we decided to explore the biology lesson material ( digestion system and cell vital activity ) to look at the chemical point of view . The chemistry course is studied for different classes of organic compounds (proteins , carbohydrates and fats ), digestion chemistry much more consideration . Diseases caused by disorders of the digestion process of review to ensure that everyone is aware of explain" proper nutrition pyramid.”
3. Vitamins - We decided to study what vitamins currently known about the function of the body, what kind of food contains these vitamins. As well as introduce their chemical composition and their abundance or deficiency diseases.
