This document describes an interdisciplinary project on the solar system conducted with 4th year students in Figueres, Spain. The project aimed to teach students about the Earth and moon in more depth. Students worked in groups to research different aspects of the Earth using websites and digital tools. They created presentations and exhibits to share what they learned. The teacher observed that students were highly motivated to learn but struggled with speaking English and working cooperatively due to lack of experience.

2. Hello!

3. Every year the students of cicle mitj participate in an
interdisciplinary project. There are two projects : Dal鱈
and Solar System.
This year we are working on the solar system.
The teachers of my cycle realized, from the evaluations
done in the last two years, that the students were very
interested in the Earth and in the Moon, and there
werent enough sessions in the project to work on them
in depth. Thats why, and thanks to the GEP course,
Caterina Ferrer and I decided to reorganise these two
themes respectively.

15. These are my personal conclusions after having implemented this project:
Positive aspects
The students became involved quickly in the working proposal. They were completely
motivated and eager to do it very well.Working in collaborative groups is also very
interesting.
Students are not sufficiently accustomed to use ICT, they loved working with new
resources.
I believe that classes are more motivating and are more consistent, using digital
resources .
Negative aspects
They have worked hard to speak, at all times in English, but they don't have enough
vocabulary to do so with confidence and security.
Students are not accustomed to working in a cooperative way, it was difficult for
them to accept their roles.
