1) Writeacher, I need the help of a science teacher to find a theme high-school students (aged 16 and 17) can investigate with their German and French partners. Our students study biology (also bilotechnologies) , chemistry, and earth science.
2) Can you check these two sentences grammatically?
Our school board has agreed on a Comenius partnership with your school though we still don’t know which students to include in the project.
3) What about including 16-year-old students specializing in sciences? We could, for example, choose a common theme related to biology or biotechnologies.
Your two sentences are fine. I'd use "although" instead of "though," but both are correct.
I'll ask a science teacher about your first question.
I suggest you look at biotechnology at making drugs (ie, gene spliced bacteria to produce medicines).Some call this genetic engineering.
1) To find a theme that high-school students can investigate with their German and French partners, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Identify the subjects the students study: In this case, the students study biology (including biotechnologies), chemistry, and earth science.
Step 2: Research overlapping topics: Look for themes that are common between these subjects. For example, you can consider themes related to ecosystems, climate change, DNA, genetics, chemical reactions, or environmental pollution.
Step 3: Consult with the students and their partners: Involve the student and their German and French partners in the decision-making process. Discuss their interests, preferences, and potential ideas for investigation.
Step 4: Select a theme: Based on the research and input from the students and partners, choose a theme that aligns with their interests, is suitable for investigation, and has relevant resources available. Ensure that the theme allows for collaboration and exploration across different subjects.
2) The two sentences you provided are grammatically correct:
"Our school board has agreed on a Comenius partnership with your school, though we still don't know which students to include in the project."
The sentence uses the correct punctuation (comma) to indicate a pause between the main clause ("Our school board has agreed on a Comenius partnership with your school") and the subordinate clause ("though we still don't know which students to include in the project").
3) The sentence "What about including 16-year-old students specializing in sciences? We could, for example, choose a common theme related to biology or biotechnologies" is also grammatically correct.
It suggests the idea of including 16-year-old students who specialize in sciences in the project. The sentence uses appropriate question formation and introduces the idea of choosing a common theme related to biology or biotechnologies as an example of possible investigation.
