Imparare anche da un’esperienza nota, a condizione di pensare

Un’attività sulla germinazione del seme nella scuola secondaria di primo grado

Abstract

Some first-year students of the lower secondary school rivisit an experience already carried out in previous years in the different classes they come from: the germination of bean seeds. They're guided to repeat the experience using an age-appropriate approach, appropriate to the students' laboratory setup, and aimed at developing fundamental skills such as learning to compare what has been observed, as defining a problem, as designing a simple experiment by isolating a variable, and observing and evaluating the results.
