Lesson idea: based on scientific disciplines and art, analyze Antique myths using the copying technique learned during the course to reveal creativity.
Course of the lesson:
The class is divided into 5 groups: "chemists", "physicists", "geographers", "biologists", and "artists." Each group receives two tasks.
The "Chemists" group: a) based on Greek myths, explain the origin of 5 chemical elements, indicating the chemical element, its chemical properties, physical properties, and the traits of the mythological character; b) create a "class elements table," assigning a mythological character that corresponds to each classmate's personality and character.

Analyzing nuclear disaster
Author: Inna Sukhenko
Finland
Theme: Analyzing nuclear disaster as part of energy biography and understanding its impact on individuals and environment
Lesson idea:
Students will examine how a nuclear disaster, such as the Chernobyl accident, affected participants and how they can convey this experience and nuclear knowledge through their perspectives.
Lesson plan:
Explain what an "energy life path" is and how a nuclear disaster becomes part of it.
Explore how this disaster affected individuals and the environment.
Analysis from different perspectives
Review different participants who could be involved in this analysis (engineers, directors, grandmothers, or other participants of the nuclear disaster).
Examine how these individuals can convey their experiences and knowledge through literary narrative.
Analysis and Discussion
Examine how the concept of survival changes before and after a nuclear disaster.
Discuss how hope, migration, resilience, and agricultural activities relate to the survival process.
Practical Task: "Energy Biography"Ask students to analyze how a nuclear disaster becomes part of their "energy biography".
Prepare a fragmented narrative where they reveal their perspectives and experiences with the Chernobyl disaster.
Group Discussions
Encourage students to share their analysis results with classmates
Allow them to raise questions, clarify unclear areas, and share observations.
