Abstract

Scientific disciplines often result as difficult and not attractive subjects for the young generations. In recent years, the experiential didactic has shown to be a much more functional educative approach, both to encourage interest in science and to facilitate the learning of difficult concepts. In this paper a new highly effective method of education is proposed, in which the schooler becomes himself an active protagonist of the studied physics phenomenon, where the body and emotive sensations encouraged the spheres of learning. We will present an innovative project, the “Physics Adventure Lab”, involving 10-14 years old students based on this new model of teaching.
