Abstract

In order to manage all the tasks, students have to use their own knowledge, various books and the Internet. The project is concluded by short presentations of students' achievement and the scientific literacy of students is evaluated.
The main goal is to show the practical usage of science in the process of real-life problems solving to the students.
