All’interno della tesi, ci si propone di mettere in atto una didattica che mira a rendere i bambini e le bambine liberi di sperimentare alcune proprietà dell’acqua. Nel primo capitolo, si prende in esame il tema dell’acqua nelle sue varie sfaccettature: a livello chimico-fisico e quindi più puramente scientifico; a livello di utilizzi nel passato e nel presente e dal punto di vista della letteratura per l’infanzia. Nel secondo capitolo, si affronta la didattica delle scienze e nello specifico si fa riferimento all’ambito della chimica, trattando la nascita e l’evoluzione di questa disciplina scientifica nel corso dei secoli (dal mondo antico ad oggi). Nel terzo capitolo, viene spiegato nei minimi dettagli il percorso svolto all’interno di una classe quarta della Scuola Primaria “A. Canova”, facente parte dell’I.C. di Caerano di San Marco. Il percorso mira a sviluppare nei bambini e nelle bambine un pensiero critico verso un composto chimico che conoscono molto bene, ossia l’acqua, e a scoprirne alcune particolari proprietà. Infine, sono presenti le conclusioni, all’interno delle quali vengono tirate le somme del percorso di ricerca, che si è svolto nel periodo di stesura dell’intera tesi.
L'acqua la conosciamo tutti eppure...sperimentiamo insieme le sue particolari proprietà

Abstract
Within the thesis, it is proposed to implement a didactic that aims to make the students free to experiment with some properties of water. In the first chapter, the theme of water is examined in its various facets: on a chemical-physical level and therefore purely scientific; in terms of uses in the past and in the present and from the point of view of children's literature. The second chapter deals with the teaching of science and specifically refers to the field of chemistry, dealing with the birth and evolution of this scientific discipline over the centuries (from the ancient world to today). In the third chapter, the process carried out in a fourth class of the Primary School "A. Canova”, which is part of the I.C. of Caerano di San Marco. The course aims to develop critical thinking in students towards a chemical compound they know very well, i.e. water, and to discover some of its particular properties. Finally, there are the conclusions, within which the sums of the research path, that took place during the period of drafting of the entire thesis, are drawn.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
