Floodplain living environment – a dynamic world. Teaching materials.
Within the Horizon Europe project Restore4Life, we have developed a set of teaching materials (protocols and worksheets) dealing with wetlands, following an interactive teaching approach. The current materials introduce floodplains as dynamic living environments shaped by alternating floods and low-water periods. In this lesson, students explore how floodplains function as living, moving systems and how both nature and people can adapt to life within them.
Exploring the habitat of a stream. Teaching materials.
Within the Horizon Europe project Restore4Life, we have developed a set of teaching materials (protocols and worksheets) dealing with wetlands, following an interactive teaching approach. The current materials guide students in assessing river-habitat quality through observation and measurement of abiotic and biotic factors. Builds understanding of how flow, substrate, and organisms interact and how human pressures affect aquatic life.
Self-purification of wetlands. Teaching Materials.
Within the Horizon Europe project Restore4Life, we have developed a set of teaching materials (protocols and worksheets) dealing with wetlands, following an interactive teaching approach. The current materials present how wetlands act as natural filters by trapping sediments and nutrients. Students observe nutrient uptake by plants and sedimentation processes that improve water quality.
Floodplains like a sponge. Teaching materials.
Within the Horizon Europe project Restore4Life, we have developed a set of teaching materials (protocols and worksheets) dealing with wetlands, following an interactive teaching approach. The current materials demonstrate how natural floodplains store and slowly release floodwater, reducing downstream risk. Students compare natural and engineered channels to understand why impermeable surfaces increase runoff and flood intensity.
Floodplains as sources of inspiration-Wicker basket weaving. Teaching materials.
Within the Horizon Europe project Restore4Life, we have developed a set of teaching materials (protocols and worksheets) dealing with wetlands, following an interactive teaching approach. The current materials combine ecology and culture through traditional crafts such as wicker weaving. Highlights sustainable use of floodplain resources and the interdependence between people, creativity, and ecosystems.
Treatment wetland. Teaching materials.
Within the Horizon Europe project Restore4Life, we have developed a set of teaching materials (protocols and worksheets) dealing with wetlands, following an interactive teaching approach. The current materials introduce vertical-flow treatment wetlands as sustainable systems for wastewater treatment. Activities demonstrate how engineering can mimic natural purification processes.
Map your wetland. Teaching materials.
Within the Horizon Europe project Restore4Life, we have developed a set of teaching materials (protocols and worksheets) dealing with wetlands, following an interactive teaching approach. The current materials engage participants in citizen-science mapping of local wetlands to document vegetation, water quality, species, and land-use. Promotes awareness of wetlands’ roles in biodiversity and climate adaptation while supporting data collection for conservation planning.
People and aquatic ecosystems-Exploring nature-based solutions and restoration measures in floodplains. Teaching materials.
Within the Horizon Europe project Restore4Life, we have developed a set of teaching materials (protocols and worksheets) dealing with wetlands, following an interactive teaching approach. The current materials analyse human pressures on rivers and demonstrates how Nature-based Solutions restore ecological functions. Students explore real restoration examples to see how healthy rivers benefit both biodiversity and communities.
Wetland Fresk
Within the Horizon Europe project Restore4Life, we have developed a set of teaching materials (protocols and worksheets) dealing with wetlands, following an interactive teaching approach. The current material explains how wetland forests act as carbon sinks. Through experiments, discussions, and games, learners explore carbon sequestration and storage in forest biomass. The word document can be adpated to the requirements of the respective learning situation.
