Salinity (a methodology focused on the practical treatment of the concept of salinity in physical geography) - when piloting the methodology, we focused on creating and measuring samples of seawater with the correct ratios of water and table salt. We carried out mathematical calculations to answer the research questions. (PaedDr. Zlata Dudová)
Making a Topographic Map (a methodology focused on applications of mapping the Earth, maps and their scale) - when piloting the methodology, we focused on the practical side of making a topographic map; students tried out in practice how easy it is to create a contour plan of any hill, even an imaginary one. (PaedDr. Zlata Dudová)
How a Shadow Changes (a methodology focused on applications of geography in practice) - when piloting the methodology, we focused on the practical use of the SketchUp Make 2017 program: changes of shadows at different latitudes, changes of shadows at different times of the year, modeling buildings and importing maps into the program. (PaedDr. Zlata Dudová)
Global Navigation Systems (a methodology focused on determining geographic location using GNSS) - when piloting the methodology, we focused on mobile apps that can also be used in everyday life (Flightradar, SW Maps, Waze, Storm Radar); students gained an overview of how these apps work and which navigation systems provide this information. (PaedDr. Zlata Dudová)
Geographic Information System (a methodology focused on GNSS and its practical use) - when piloting the methodology, we used Google Earth Pro, learned its basic controls and how to use it to plan a route, measure distances and examine terrain relief. (PaedDr. Zlata Dudová)
The Importance of Geography Today (a methodology focused on applications of geography in practice) - when piloting the methodology, we focused on the practical use of geographic methods; students tried out a geofence in practice and created a route in the SW Maps app, describing and photographing the places they recorded along the way. (PaedDr. Zlata Dudová)
Weather Forecasting (the methodology broadens students' knowledge of meteorology and looks more closely at weather forecasting using meteorological elements) - the student gained knowledge of meteorological elements that vary in space and time, presented their results and made use of cross-curricular links. (Mgr. Ľubica Kazimírová)
Year 2
The State, Its Territory and Borders (a methodology focused on human geography) - when piloting the methodology, we focused on acquiring knowledge of the political map of the world and the shapes and borders of states. Through practical activities, we examined the current political map of the world as the result of diverse events. (PaedDr. Zlata Dudová)
Child Marriage Around the World (a methodology focused on human geography) - when piloting the methodology, we focused on acquiring knowledge about a cultural and social phenomenon in the region of Central and Southern Africa. Students presented their views on how to address the issue, based on the cultural differences between Africa and Europe. (PaedDr. Zlata Dudová)
Shapes of the Age Pyramid (a methodology focused on correctly interpreting information on the development and structure of the population in the form of graphs, tables and age pyramids) - when piloting the methodology, we used a worksheet and worked with the website www.populationpyramid.net. (PaedDr. Zlata Dudová)
Population Forecast (a methodology focused on recognizing and understanding phenomena and processes concerning the world's population based on trend curves). (PaedDr. Zlata Dudová)
Year 3
Europe Through the Senses (a methodology focused on getting to know European countries through the senses - in a very unconventional way) - when piloting the methodology, we used senses such as taste, sight and hearing; using examples of European states, students learned about traditional cuisine and natural and cultural landmarks, listened to national anthems, and we got to know artists, notable figures and athletes.
