University of Thessaly learning environment
1. Title of learning environment: “Land to the fog, fly to learning ".
2. Driving question: How can we control fog in a specific part of an area where fogs are common so that a helicopter can land for emergency reasons?”
3. Scenario: Fog punishes the one who looks down on it! Its last victim was John Beaver, a young Physicist. The unfortunate young lad was responsible for finding ways to eliminate fog in selected spots, suitable for the landing of medical helicopters, in the plain of Thessaly. Due to thick fog he ended up in a ditch by the road. He finally survived with two fractured bones and a concussion. The doctors have prescribed “not too much thinking” for him for 3 months.However, his contract with the prefecture of Thessaly obliges him to complete his research project within two months; otherwise he is in danger to be finned. You have the mission to complete the task that John has taken on himself so that he is not finned. From his part you’ll have two pages from his notebook that were found in the place of the accident, to help you with your mission.
