Educational Trip to Troodos for 2 research teams of Agios Ioannis Lyceum.

On Sunday the 25th of November 2018, two (2) research teams of students went to different places in Troodos Geopark and in other rural places carrying different kind of rocks and soils to arrange their experimental setups for the research that they have to execute for the Erasmus program. The titles of their research are:

  1. «How the subsoil affects the vegetation. The subsoil of the Geopark Troodos region compared to other areas of Cyprus»
  2. How the subsoil of an area affects the plating of soil organisms. The subsoil of the Geopark Troodos region compared to other areas of Cyprus

For the purpose of this work, we had to place traps of soil organisms and also to collect soil from different regions of Cyprus with different substrates or regions for the purpose of comparing our results. Thus, on Sunday, November 25th 2018, the two research teams together with project co-ordinator Mr. Nikolaos Nicolaou and Mrs Zoe Makridou (zoologist) went to this excursion to enable the pupils to carry out their work.
