1. SUMMARY OF YOUR PROPOSAL
NOTE: maximum 0,5 page Please provide a summary of your project that can be published if the project will be selected for funding.
Microplastics are dangerous factor in the world oceans. It is seen a way that demineralize the water smoothly. It is found that chemical oxidation is the best way to reach minimal level of ionized microplastics. It is occurring with a chemical cascade that forms redox reactions. The team made an algorithm to determine which road should be walked (Figure 1). Also, a device that includes these steps within had to be designed. A design that was suitable and authentic to the situation had to be created (Figure 2) and it should be called “The Bell”. Blender design was containing familiar materials: a metal cone, electricity-transparent wall circle, thin gold layer beneath 21 iron pyramids and electricity wire. Noble gas will have added to a squeezed transparent wall, so that the gas will have a low volume and high pressure to “explode”. Then, reaction is simulated by using The Powder Toy that diffusion and wondered what happened next (Figure 3). Diffused noble gases apply pressure to iron pyramids and iron made an electrolysis reaction with water. In that example the electrolysis causes salt forming despite no evaporation and high solvability (Figure 4). It could be seen the salt at the bottom, so oxidation had occurred. It could be assumed that it will also happen in the bigger water mass, in the sea to microplastics. Like the solid salt, bigger

2. RELEVANCE NOTE: max 3 pages 2.1 Please describe how your proposal is aligned with the Mission Ocean objectives, and how you plan to contribute to increasing ocean and water literacy.
The Proposal push the people to think the oxidation principles. Because in water purification, it is found many mechanisms to accomplish the mission but oxidation. The main goal is expanding the both literacy and designing the most efficient system by targeting the top problems in the Mediterranean.
2.2 Please describe the strategy for bringing in a European dimension to the project and describe potential cooperation/twinning with other blue schools. Please explain how the cooperation will be implemented, what will be the objectives and main activities undertaken.
First, the project has a big potential to attract entrepreneurs with size of its target problem and precision. It can also be built a bigger foundation with the students and teachers that have same aim. The algorithm that established would help if an institution integrated to our work. Besides, the European seas can be saved by our device. It is almost universal.
2.3 Please explain if and how the project activities will have a positive impact on the environment. Please describe schools’ commitment to Climate Pact Pledge leading to decarbonisation or at least to carbon neutrality of the project and school activities and if the school supports the values of a European Climate Pact.
Microplastics are the worst trouble of the sea recently. By using the appliance which designed appropriately, the oceans will have less effected by the climate change and the sea animal deaths have decreased. Our school has “White Flag” which represents the clean and carbon- free environment. Moreover, it accepts the European Climate Pact and one of its club strives by creating innovative solution for Climate Change.
2.4. If you aspire to be a member of the European Network of Blue Schools please describe how you intend to meet the prerequisites to become accredited members by the time of completion of the project.
It can be collaborated with local partner and involving all of the pupils with environment- integrated projects. Additionally, our school located near the sea. For that reason, it can be done extracurricular activities by students periodically.
3. IMPACT NOTE: max 3 pages
3.1 Project partners are crucial for the success of the project. Please describe planned strategy for stakeholders and local community engagement in the activities which will be performed during project implementation. Please be specific and mention who and which organisation on the local level is crucial for the project implementation and how you plan to reach them.
Funded by the 3/8
European Union Project has two potential organisations to invest: Türkiye Environment Education Foundation (TÜRÇEV) and Turkish Sea Studies Foundation (TÜDAV). TÜRÇEV can be used to create a virtual platform that serves free education about seas importance and climate awareness. TÜDAV can be used to reach statistical data like mapping inputs such as CO₂ dissolvability. Their e-mail addresses are very easy to access to communicate.
3.2 Please describe what makes your project and funded activities innovative.
Methodology is new and efficient way called chemical oxidation. That procedure is budget- friendly and fast to get feedback. Design is also completely authentic and flexible. Otherwise, universal and cheap components come to forefront for the modern perspective.
3.3 Please describe how the project will be promoted locally, nationally or at the European scale.
The project already promoted by the local financier. However, proposal can accept nationally promoting for sure. That can be occur by Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and Ministry of National Education. Nevertheless; if the team gain more data, the project supported by more researchers by the dependent University.

4.3 Please describe how the project involves activities with authentic learning experience for students through a real-life applicable approach in classroom conditions.
With The Powder Toy (TPT) game, the project design can be tested in virtual environment. Students can experience almost impossible in seconds. Also, the simulation is valid for reality so that education is reaching its aim.
4.4 Please describe how project development and implementation plan involve students during the whole lifespan of the project and how the co-creation process and leadership will be fostered among all students.
The device design is very easy to use for a student. So, it can be also implemented them while team is observing real functioning. It can be also redirected and develop our project to force brainstorming about its design, function, efficiency and cost.
4.5 Please describe the strategy for involving more than one classroom of students in the funded activities, including other members of school staff and management. Additionally, if you plan to involve migrants or Ukrainian citizens under temporary protection please mention it in the description.
