2nd day in Genève

On Tuesday morning we met at school at 9:30.

We saw a film about Essential Tech. In that film we could see that many of the medical equipments donated to Africa are not used there for many reasons. Sometimes they work for a while and stop working and nobody was there to fix them, also sometimes they don't have electricity, or as they have a different temperature, equipment is not working properly. So, sometimes donations turn into a problem because they have to throw them, they called them the White Elephant (very big and useless). It was very shocking for us because we didn't expect that donations could turn into a problem.

In Tuesday afternoon we had a guided visit of Genèva. We saw the Jet d'eau, the cathedral, old town... it was very nice to see the city.

At 09:00 we have started the activities in the physics lab for the Practical Experience II. The specialized educators of the Canal Educa Foundation have visited us to conduct experimental sessions. The activity began with an introduction in which contents related to the integral water cycle, its physicochemical properties and work in the laboratory are treated. Then the students have been divided into working groups to carry out the experiments. Each group performed 3 or 4 different experiments. The tests carried out have been: Universal solvent / surface tension, osmosis / reverse osmosis, suspended solids, nitrates / phosphates, free chlorine / total chlorine, conductivity. To conclude, the importance of good practices in the use of water has been emphasized in order to avoid spilling substances in it that could hinder its treatment.         After that students went for a walk through Alcalá while the Coordinators Meeting In the afternoon...
