Learning Objectives
Being a broad field, it is important to acquire methods, concepts and attitudes that are suitable and indispensable for questioning, observing and understanding the world and for measuring oneself against the idea of multiplicity, problematic nature and the transformability of reality. The main objectives are:
- Acquire the ability to make observations, ask questions and formulate simple hypotheses, to finally arrive, through the mediation of the teacher, to share models and explanations of natural phenomena.
- Educate to observe phenomena and experimentation by collecting data and interpreting them in order to gradually acquire the attitudes typical of scientific investigation.
- Ask yourself questions about ecosystems, the environment and health.
