Abstract

In this work, innovative methodologies to teach scientific matters have been put to test, aimed at recovering the those human attitudes that lies at the foundation of physics, including curiosity, ability to observe nature, and the search of explanations. Observations made during the experimentations can then be discussed together by the students and finally organized according to a layout to highlight logical connections. Through the new didactical path, personal motivations and inward reflection on one’s own ability to learn are encouraged, and the student is lead to gain skills for more effective study and to master memorization techniques. The mythology has been here put into practice in the first level at high school, also exploiting internet and multimedia facilities.
