With the completion of the last riddle, the last piece of the puzzle of the mystery with the map came in. The solution was now in front of us. The last mission was to assemble all the pieces of history to reveal the latest events in Dino's life. In fact, he made the map to show us how the dinosaurs disappeared from the earth. Mr. Stem, excited by the result of our action and wanting to thank us for our valuable help, awarded us the Natural History Award. We are really very proud that we did it !!! Our collaborative story-Dino's biography All the partners of the project joined their imagination and create the last story of our project giving an answer to the question "How dinosaurs went extinct"!

Fifth Riddle and Mission (Life Cycle)

The 5th riddle is the last one that we managed to complete. Its solution led us to study the life cycle of dinosaurs and the phenomenon of melting and freezing by conducting relevant experiments with which we focused mainly on children's prior knowledge and their predictions of what changes will occur in frozen objects by adding different materials (sugar, salt, vinegar) -melting, and placing different liquids in the cases of an icebox what is predicted to happen to them with the drop of temperature-freezing. We used beebot (helped the beebot get to the right stage of the dinosaur life cycle, matched the image with the word, etc.) and we did group work code activities according to which the children had to decode the commands and make the image of the dinosaur What we have learned Life cycle game Our activities Learn about the life cycle 7th Kindergarten of Katerini 1st Liti's Kindergarten 2nd Kindergarten of Aliar

Fourth Riddle and Mission (Light and Shadow)

Our 4th riddle gave us the opportunity to study light and the phenomenon of shadow. With the presentation of appropriate supervisory material, with the help of the game "sun, light, and shadows", our young students had the opportunity to make predictions, assumptions, experiment and to draw conclusions about the phenomenon of shadow. We talked about light sources and their separation into physical and technical and with the help of beebot we learned to distinguish them. We went out into the schoolyard and the kids spotted and took pictures of the shadows that formed and talked about them. We make a group painting based on dinosaurs and their shadows and we took part in the painting competition with the title "The kingdom of the shadows" with the participation of all the partner schools.
