Living
National Symbols
The
images of plants and animals are used in the national symbols of many
countries and cities of the world -the eagle in Russia and Iran, snowball-three
(guelder rose) in Ukraine, frog - in Puerto-Riko, red lily - in Florence,
Owl -in Athenes and so on. What is the history of these symbols? With
what events in the life of the country or city are they connected? What
properties of these plants or animals promoted their use in national
symbolics? How is it displayed in national songs, legends, fairy tales?
What are the biological features of these living symbols? The participants
of the project exchange their research through the Internet, creating
albums of herbariums, photos, and illustrations. They create living
corners of national symbols at the school and in the city. Results will
be placed on a WEB site.
