WEBINARS

SATS WEBINAR IMPRESSIONS Project founders and members joined the SATS webinar TEACH WITH OCEANS at 22.01.2025 via microsoft teams meeting. As teachers, we’ve just explored the critical role the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt plays in regulating Earth’s climate, the productivity of our oceans, and the weather patterns that impact our daily lives. We’ve gained a deeper understanding of how the thermohaline circulation works and how disruptions potentially caused by climate change could drastically affect global temperatures, marine ecosystems, and human livelihoods. The global conveyor belt is more than just a scientific concept; it’s central to the future of our planet. By integrating ocean literacy into our teaching, we can help students understand these complex systems and inspire them to take action in safeguarding our oceans and climate. This knowledge equips us to engage our students with real-world issues, fostering a generation that values and works towards a sustainable future.

Learning About Plastic in Water

 Last week, students from August Šenoa Elementary School in Osijek, Croatia, visited the Chemistry Department at the University of Osijek. Our biology and chemistry teacher organized this trip for us. When we arrived, we got to see what microplastics look like under a microscope. We learned that storks, crows, and other birds often pick up plastic at garbage dumps or beaches and end up eating it. It was amazing to see how tiny bits of plastic can get inside birds—and scary to think about where else this plastic might go. Next, we joined a workshop on nylon synthesis. We learned how nylon is made and discovered more about plastic production. One of the biggest lessons we learned is that most plastic—especially microplastics—ends up in the oceans. It can even get into the bodies of sea creatures. Before we left, we learned a helpful tip: always boil your water before you drink it. Research shows that about 80% of microplastics remain trapped in the limescale (the residue) that form...
