Nonverbal communication
in human being-alien
meeting
Nonverbal communication is the easiest way for us to
communicate with people who don't speak our language.
Gestures, mimics, looks and facial expressions don't involve
verbal communication, but it may help us communicate
even with aliens came from the outer space - this is the
message of our students who tried to act out their meeting
with some aliens. Teachers Ana-Maria Tanase and
Bogdan Petrache helped them prepare this activity. The

84. Our students developed their practical skills by designing and
producing little aliens and using fabrics, sawdust, wheat seeds and
other necessary accessories for creating the faces of the
extraterrestrial creatures. Their work didn’t finish when the aliens
were ready... no, they had also to bring the creatures to life by
taking care of them at home and making sure they had all the
conditions to grow and live: water, light, warmth and lots of love.
After 2 weeks, students brought their aliens to school and the result
was a real army of creatures which impressed everybody with their
long green hair – the proof that children took good care of them
watering the wheat seeds.
They talked about the life in the universe and their wish to travel
to other planets to discover new worlds and civilisations.

Distance measurement
in the universeOn 27 May 2014, Ms. Marin Nicoleta, teacher of Physics and Mr.
Voicu Cristian, teacher of Geography, organized an activity with
students of different ages (grades 5th, 6th and 11th) about the
distance measurement in the universe. The aim of the activity was
to make students aware of the huge distances from universe and to
teach them how astronomers measure these long distances and
the measurement units they use. Students learned about the
astronomical unit representing the distance from the Earth to the
Sun and about the light year used to measure the distances
between the stars of a galaxy or between galaxies. They realized
how big the universe is and how difficult it is to measure the
distances even when using numbers with many zeroes. At the end
of the activity students better understood the complexity of the
universe we live in and the vast spaces human beings can’t even
think about, not to mention measuring.
