Elementary School Šime Budinić Zadar Croatia

The project investigates the presence of microplastics in the Adriatic Sea at various locations in Zadar through sampling and chemical analysis of the sea. Students will actively participate in education about microplastics, fieldwork (location selection and sampling), microscopy, identification of microplastic samples, chemical analysis of the sea, data analysis and drawing conclusions. The funds provided by the grant will be used to purchase equipment necessary for the implementation of the project. The project will be presented at the school and local level (website, school newspaper Čehuljica, bulletin board), as well as to other GLOBE schools, the GLOBE Croatia page, and a science fair.
