Educational materials

Educational materials in the form of lesson scenarios, including multimedia presentations, were developed under EKOROB Project.

The educational materials developed by Ms. Marta Jermaczek-Sitak were consulted by teachers during a specialist training for nature and biology teachers, which was held on 21-22 October 2014 in Smardzewice. The teachers also shared their opinions on the materials.

The educational package is composed of scenarios in Polish, which are available under the following link:
