The next step was to choose the topic, i.e. the title of the project. After many discussions, the decision was made on the title, which reads: "The Baltic Sea and its amazing organisms." The students started searching for information in magazines, albums, the Internet and other source materials and consulting their findings with their tutor. Another activity related to the project was a visit to the Gdynia Aquarium, where during a class in a laboratory the students independently observed various organisms under the binoculars, made their sketches, and then looked for nature inspiration at the permanent exhibition of the Aquarium.
