Implementing Science Theater
Abstract
Since 2006, we were implementing a numerous of educational projects on teaching Science - i.e experiments with low-cost materials, developing and using online scenarios, integrating embodied outdoor activities in our physics lesson and engaging the whole school in Interdisciplinary Astronomy Activities. The most fruitful one, in terms of motivating students, was science theater. Science theater - by doing research on scientific topics, writing down the script, organising a play and communicating our efforts - highlights the need of more and systematic (inclusive) thematic learning throughout school topics. Here we will present our last effort, giving a glimpse of our way of work, putting together document theater, science theater and science fiction.
