1. Viborg Tekniske Gymnasium

2. Note Most of the activities were also done within the framework of the Comenius project, but could also been done without the project There were other activities within the Comenius project, that are not reported here, because they were not done by the whole class

3. Classes involved: Class 1.4 (2009/2010) Class 1.3 (2009/2010), class 2.3 (2010/2011) Class 1.2 (2010/2011)

4. Energy and communication ”Theme 2: Energy” This is a normal part of the curriculum where different subjects are involved. Training in making websites Information on energy situation in Denmark In physics and communication/it: Making a website on renewable energy in English

5. Example of a website

6. Taking pictures of the energy situation at home This could also be done at normally, but is not likely. This was something special for the Comenius project Pictures were shown in the class of the energy situation at home in Cyprus and Italy

7. Education in climate (2 hrs) Information on: radiation from the sun absorption of radiation greenhouse gas effect global warming potential effect of volcanoes

8. Class exchange with BBSII, Leer (1) During 3 days mixed groups of a class from each school have been working together on renewable energy and climate change in Leer. Concept: 1. General excursion (Wind turbine factory Enercon) 2. Different groups were visiting different institutions/companies working with renewable energy 3. Power point presentations in English were made together 4. The presentations were shown in a common meeting and there was limited discussion This could also be done within a school or just in cooperation between two schools in the future

9. Class exchange with BBSII, Leer (2) Visited/Made: Biogas plant Thermal heating system Local energy supplied EWE Gas/water company Wind turbine park planning company ENOVA Municipality Leer School building (energy) Interview teachers about energy Interview pupils about energy

10. Class exchange with BBSII, Leer (3)

11. Making energy survey at home Making energy survey at home with the prototype inquiry first version

12. Class exchange with BBS II, Viborg (1) During 3 days mixed groups of a class from each school have been working together on renewable energy and climate change in Viborg. Concept: 1. General excursion (Wind turbine factory Enercon) 2. Different groups were visiting different institutions/companies working with renewable energy 3. Power point presentations in English were made together 4. The presentations were shown in a common meeting and there was limited discussion This could also be done within a school or just in cooperation between two schools in the future

13. Class exchange with BBS II, Viborg (2) Visited: Grue & Hornstrup: CO2 emission reductions in developing countries Aarhus University: Biogas plant Aarhus University: Biomass Municipality Viborg: New townhall with energy savings Municipality Viborg: Policy to have 100% renewable energy in 2020 Hydrogen Innovation and Research Center: cars on hydrogen Måbjergværket: Power plant on biomass

14. Class exchange with BBS II, Viborg (3)

15. Comenius visit to Viborg (1) Designing future housings During the visit of the Comenius project to Viborg with pupils from other schools future housings were designed

16. Comenius visit to Viborg (2) Visiting the University of Aarhus: biogas and biomass

17. Comenius visit to Viborg (3) Visiting the electricity museum and getting information on climate change

18. Additional information (1) Within the normal curriculum we have a theme on energy and this gives good opportunities to work on renewable energy and climate change. Period 1-2 weeks within different subjects There is time for subjects that are not part of the normal curriculum: estimate 10% of the time Whether this time is really available depends on how fast the class is. In classes that are slow this time is not available. The class which was most active in the Comenius project was slow and for that reason we had a problem of finishing the normal physics curriculum in time.

19. Additional information (2) Although the pupils have been working in English (during the exchange with BBSII and when making a website in English), English as a subject was not involved. It would be better if that was the case and information on renewable energy and climate change would be part of it so that the pupils get used to the terminology.
