Warnemünde student week

Twice per year, IOW invites senior high school classes to participate in Baltic Sea research. (Since we have only a limited number of spaces available, interested teachers are asked to reserve space early for their classes.)

Examples

Introduction to scientific research

Students in grades 5 and 6 from Warnemünde’s Ecolea School take water samples from the Alte Strom under the supervision of marine biologist Dr. Lutz Postel to determine the prevalence of the jellyfish Mnemiopsis leidyi.

Participation in youth research

Since February 2008, a student from an inner-city high school in Rostock has been taking CO2 samples in coastal waters under the supervision of marine chemist Dr. Bernd Schneider. The goal of the project is to use CO2 levels to calculate phytoplankton primary production.
