APPLYING KNOWLEDGE OF CHEMISTRY AND BIOLOGY OF HIGH SCHOOL

IN CONVERSION OF FRYING OIL INTO BIODIESEL

Adamidis Adam

In the maze of modern Hellenic and global reality, the school is required to trigger the
thought, creativity and initiative of students and future citizens, by enabling their direct and
active participation in each and every phase of the educational process. In order to realize this
goal a connection needs to be established between the knowledge provided by the curriculum
and the modern everyday needs as well as the students individual skills and interests.
Taking the above into consideration, a group of 2nd year Senior High School students, under
the supervision of their chemistry teacher chose, within the scope of their project course, to
investigate the necessity of alternative energy sources, and particular the conversion of frying
oil into biodiesel.

Abstract
In the maze of modern Hellenic and global reality, the school is required to trigger the
thought, creativity and initiative of students and future citizens, by enabling their direct and
active participation in each and every phase of the educational process. In order to realize this
goal a connection needs to be established between the knowledge provided by the curriculum
and the modern everyday needs as well as the students individual skills and interests.
Taking the above into consideration, a group of 2nd year Senior High School students, under
the supervision of their chemistry teacher chose, within the scope of their project course, to
investigate the necessity of alternative energy sources, and particular the conversion of frying
oil into biodiesel.
