Going with the flow...

What was our school's needs? The school sought to participate in interesting and experiential projects for students, through exposure to and presentation of Medusa's diverse world from different perspectives and fields of knowledge, spanning everyday life and mythology, with a multidisciplinary integration. How to involve the teaching staff across the many intersecting topics was the question; preliminary planning was carried out to address all of our important needs. Students were given the opportunity to learn about the subject across different disciplines, so that each student could connect from their own place.

Here are some examples: History, Greek mythology; Science, the structure of the jellyfish/Medusa; the use of jellyfish in human service; Geography, a thorn in the canal: invasive species in the Mediterranean, some of which are jellyfish; characteristics of jellyfish along Israel's coastline; Linguistic literacy, the etymology of the names of different jellyfish species.

Students demonstrated extensive knowledge in geography and science; students who dive connected to the topic through their everyday hobbies; in the field of art, they were exposed to works in various museums around the world. In Jaffa there is a site where a model can be found. Greek mythology occupied a prominent place in the curiosity and knowledge of the learners, which led to motivation to learn in related fields such as astronomy and more. Everyday life was highly relevant to the subject being studied.
