The project PRIMAS is an initiative under which a lot of materials both as professional development courses (http://www.primas-project.eu/artikel/en/1221/Professional+development+modules/view.do?lang=en ) and direct classroom use (http://www.primas-project.eu/zoeken/search.do?selectedTags=1039 )
The professional development modules are available in German, English, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Greek, Slovak and Romanian, while the direct classroom use materials are available only in English.
Teachers’ Opinion
What is precious in this project is the fact that it offers materials for professional development of science teachers as well as ready activities to be used in class. Even if the materials for direct classroom use are only in English that can be used for visualising.
Students’ Opinion
There are a lot of examples of science topics as well as games which students can play to better understand the science subjects.

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.
