Our winners in the EUREKA competition “Man and Nature” 2023

2024-01-31 21:25

Twenty students from 5^th to 8^th grade won recognition. Congratulations!

Nearly 38 000 students from 561 schools participated in Germany’s nationwide competition, "Man and Nature." At the end of November 240 GISW students answered 45 questions in a multiple-choice test about nature and the environment, humans and animals, and about technology and research. What is tofu made of? Which vegetables belong to the family of pumpkins? What is the name of the technology used to produce electricity from solar energy? What species of animal is a whale shark? Students of different levels wracked their brains over these questions for an entire school lesson. With success!

Congratulations to all who participated, and special thanks to the school administration for its generous support.
