Abstract
We present the citizen science project called “Nuclear e-cologyâ€. It is a proposition for teachers to expand and enrich opportunities of the afterhours school activities, but its main purpose is, eventually, to introduce the modern physics and science in general to the school curricula. We put a special attention to the teamwork and the general scientific methods.Groups of students initially started the serious scientific work and some of them finished the study in the 2014/15 school year and we found results of their activity of the real physical value. We shortly present some of them here and based on interviews and opinions of teacher involved in the project, we discuss some educational aspects of the project. We believe that the further work could be fruitful and successful from the point of view of students and teachers.
