Then , they measured and found that the navel divides the human body in the golden ratio . They experienced the proportions of the face , ear , arm , as Leonardo da Vinci did in The Vitruvian Man . They built the golden spiral and verified the existence of the golden ratio in architecture : the Romanian Athenaeum , the Gate of the Kiss , the Gate of Brancusi ' s house , then in painting , in the portraits of Nicolae Grigorescu and Nicolae Tonitza , Mona Lisa . Moreover , they created golden spirals in flowers and ornaments based on the proportion of gold in Scratch or GeoGebra during Code week with the theme " Golden Ratio in arts ". Their experiments were featured in the Fibonnaci Day video conference in November .
In this activity , students had the opportunity to practice communication and collaboration , to share ideas , knowledge and solutions . Working together , our students – future adults – will be able to face the challenges of the different fields in which they will work .
The activity " Statistics applied to the study of Sustainable Development Goals " demanded even more students , taking them out of their comfort zone and sending them into reality , with the life problems of humanity . Students aged 11-18 worked together in three international teams , using Google Docs , Google Forms , Google Sheets , Canva . They were all equally involved , the importance of the subject giving them once more to think : it was about their future .
The teachers presented to the students the 17 Sustainable Development Goals . Students have chosen , by voting in Google Forms , the most important areas in which they should act faster , from their point of view . Thus , 9 out of 17 objectives were chosen for indepth / extended study . For each objective , students created a list of questions in Google Doc , then created a Google Form with them . The answers were collected in worksheets , which were the basis for creating graphs in Excel , Canva or GeoGebra . The interpretation of the graphs , the proposed solutions followed in the comments attached to them .
The end product of this activity is this e-book . It brings together all collaborative presentations made by students : https :// online . pubhtml5 . com / raht / ncfg /# p = 1 .
