For the 2nd consecutive year, CreaNova students from 3rd year of ESO participate in the project of the Science Law Prize (PLC) organized by the University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia (UVic-UCC).
A literary competition related to the reading of a scientific novel, to promote reading and stimulate the writing skills of students in secondary schools in the 3rd and 4th year of ESO.
In this ninth edition of the Legal Science Award The students had to read the novel: “The crimes of the periodic table” (by Xavier Duran and Jordi de Manue). The chosen novel contains a mystery based on science fiction, with a thread of intrigue, where there are criminal acts that are related to the periodic table and its elements. A curious and different way of learning chemistry through the investigation of serial crimes in the city's parks. The PLC-UVic project, year after year, is part of the program of activities of the Tertulias de Literatura Científica (TLC-UVic), and also in the Vic Section of the Catalan Society of Biology (SCB) of the Institut de Estudis Catalans (IEC).
With the PLC we open a small window of hope to unite the humanities, technology, art and sciences. It has the support of the Vice-Rectorate for Research and Knowledge Transfer of UVic-UCC and is part of the Reading Promotion proposal of the Department of Education of the Generalitat de Catalunya (DEGC) to promote reading and writing, as learning tools, in the different areas of knowledge. It is included in the DEGC's Continuing Education Plan, in which the UVic-UCC Centre for Innovation and Training in Education (CIFE) participates.
Whatever the final result, we must highlight the work done by Jaume Avila, a 3rd year ESO student, encouraged by his tutor Cristina Prada, who in the modality of 'changing the ending of the work' has given a very interesting twist to this fun story... Don't you want to read it?
