Physical Awareness

Share this project

The project developed as an eTwinning project in 2012 and since then it ran under different names and with slightly different goals, involving different subjects, depending on the involved students’ curriculum. In 2015 it was declared runner up at the European eTwinning Prizes ceremony and the same year it was declared one of the best projects by the Italian National Agency.

The project began simply by sharing experiences and videos among students, showing the connections between mathematics, physics and physical education. After that, the three schools involved decided to widen the experience and organised exchanges in the school year 2013-14. In each town sport activities were organised showing their connection with mathematics and physics. Subsequently the methodology of Physical Awareness became problem-based, with students learning to analyse the data they collect. From 2014 to 2015, the project was mainly based on running activities. Italian and Spanish schools organised mountain races where the students could work on different topics, including ancient languages, as they read and translated some texts about Pheidippides in many different languages.
