2 April 2013 On the second of April, Tudor Vianu Highschool organized „Science Day”, an event which has as main purpose to valuate the results of the Comenius Project „Learning science through active learning”, project meant to stimulate students’ interest in studying sciences.

The activity was a partnership which involved „Academician Marin Voiculescu” School, „Saint Gheorghe” School and School Nr. 7 from Giurgiu. The activity was planned in two sections and included experiments in the highschool laboratories (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) and a section of scientific presentations. 100 pupils and 50 highschool students attended the activity, which was coordinated by the Physics, Chemistry and Biology teachers: Cristina Anghel, Cristina Soare, Georgeta Nicula and Gherghina Bragaru.

Highschool students showed their younger guests scale models and experimental slides which underline the way some physical or chemical phenomena happen and some demonstrations which were first presented in project meetings such as : the electric motor, photovoltaic cell, continuous current circuits, the creation of a galvanic element, the way soap is produced, the way we get a nitric dye, obtaining fresh microscopic preparations, highlighting plasmolisys. The event was interactive, each participant could experiment and get the information he needed. At the end of the activities, the presented materials were appreciated as being instructive, useful, funny.
