In this school year our school has decided to organize a Science competition ‘Kresnička’. The competition is held by DMFA Slovenija. The essential part of this competition are experiments which can be carried out by pupils at home or at school. The information how to publish/post the experiments is available on the following webpage https://www.dmfa.si/NaOS/Razpis.html. Pupils who are interested in Science were informed about this competition at my extra-curriculum classes for talented children. Their first challenge was to get ready for the presentation/demonstration of the experiment at school. Three female pupils volunteered. We agreed to record the experiments with smart phones. The recordings of these experiments were presented/posted on our school webpage and helped other pupils. They compared the findings and wrote down their observations. The notes helped them to evaluate and improve the experiments with concrete ideas during my extra curriculum classes for talented children. They also reported about the difficulties and new findings. On the Internet they were looking for professional explanations of each experiment and therefore gained some additional/extra knowledge. The goal was achieved. The recordings help us to evaluate not only ourselves, but also other people. We also gain some new knowledge.
