Solar system

Objective

Know the Earth and the solar system bodies.

Theoretical part

We will observe the scale models and study real celestial bodies of solar system. We will understand how solar system was formed and how its future evolution will be.

We will analyze the characteristic of each planet and the laws of planetary motion, the alternation of the seasons, the eclipse of Sun and Moon.

Practical part

Construction of solar planetary scale model.

Target

primary school III-IV-V grades high school

From Big Bang to Ice Age

Objective

Understand the factors that let the emergence and evolution of life on Earth.

Theoretical part

We will do a time travel to discover life on Earth by the use of educational tools. We will analyze a large collection of fossil at retrace the various stage of evolution: from the earliest forms of life to the first vertebrates, from dinosaurs to birds, the animal extinction to ice ages.

Practical part

Realization of small diorama representing a particular geologic age.

Target

From Galileo to Lavoisier: discover science trough play

Objective

Understand the basic principles of chemistry and physics.

Theoretical part

We will briefly show with scientific exactitude, the history of chemistry and physics, particularly with reference to Galileo e Lavoisier; explain the innovations that they have introduced in scientific world.

Practical part

With the help of the three-dimensional models, we will examine the most common molecules (water, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide) to better understand what some propriety depends on.

Realization of practical experiments to learn by playing the fundamental principles of chemistry and physics. Reproduction of experiment of falling bodies.

Target

primary school V grades high school

Discovery fossils

Objective

Approach the world of Paleontologist through te tools used by scientist; the planet life through fossils.

Theoretical part

We will observe and analyze directly fossil records, and we will outline the main process that leads to the formation of to fossils. We will be also shows the paleontologists’ work.

Practical part

Plaster cast of trilobites, ammonites and other common fossils.

Target

primary school III-IV-V grades high school

Orient ourselves: cartography elements

Objective

Learn the fundamental principals of orientation and learn how to read a topographic map.

Theoretical part

Brief story of cartography, explanation of the symbols used in maps, how to orient ourselves and explanation of the devices of orientation (such us compass, altimeter and sextant).

Practical part

We will walk outdoors orienting through the use of map and compass, learning how to recognize the elements showed on the topographic map.

Target

primary school III-IV-V grades high school
