Description of the educational product
The educational product is addressed to lower secondary school students between 14 and 15 years old and it is from the Chemistry sector.

The aim of an educational model is to illustrate a scientific concept through an image that has been chosen by a student.

In this specific model the scientific concept of The Groups in the Periodic Table of Elements is explained. The explanation of the scientific concept is exposed to the students through the association of families sharing common features.

Once the model has been developed, the student presents it to the classmates asking for their opinion about the usability of the model itself. The discussion, moderated by the teacher, is a training moment and a good opportunity for him to explain the scientific concept and also evaluate the students’ interaction.

The achievement of the model had a high impact on the students’ comprehension and understanding of a scientific concept, involving also their creative thinking.

- A familiar theme, presented in an interesting way.


- A suitable analogy to the family - known object in which pupils are aware of close "family" relationships and characteristics.


- I will try it as another option for presenting the subject - Periodic Table of Elements.

Dissemination Seminar in Florence

31 October 2015 The seminar has been held in ITIS “A. Meucci” one of the schools involved within Goerudio project activities. Its main aim was to promote the results of the project toward a broad sample of stakeholders even overcrossing the number of people directly involved in the production of project outcomes. This purpose has been totally achieved especially thanks to the participation of students and teachers coming from different schools or from other classes instead of those ones directly involved within the project activities.
