Discover the biodiversity of Ostrava rivers depending on the pollution through practical exercises in the field and laboratory

At the beginning of the school year 2008/2009, we started an approved grant program supported by the County Office of the Moravian-Silesian Region "Discover the biodiversity of Ostrava rivers depending on the pollution through practical exercises in the field and laboratory".

The main objective of this project is to actively and responsibly implement long-term school project CEPA to support research and survey work, monitoring the situation - environmental monitoring and activities aimed to promote environmental education and education in school. This project is designed for students sixth and third grade, who, along with practical samples and the identification of samples visit OZO Ostrava, North Waterworks and Sewerage Ostrava and one of Ostrava's steel giants Mittal Steel Ostrava or Evraz Vitkovice Steel.

With this project and the school funds we will buy high-quality binocular microscope SWS 1002 ZOOM and digital camera CMOS sensor 4, which will help improve the teaching of biology and biological practice. During the entire project will be on the school website to present our results and photos from this event. The project leader is Mr. Josef Theimer.
