Povzetek

Projekt Xperimania je pripravila Zveza Appe, v njihovem imenu pa ga koordinira Evropsko šolsko omrežje. K sodelovanju so vabljene vse šole v Evropski uniji. Sodelujejo lahko učenci in dijaki v starosti od 10 do 20 let. Privabljanje mladih talentov je postal osrednji izziv kemične in še posebej petrokemične industrije. Številne študije so pokazale, da bi morali izboljšati načine poučevanja naravoslovja v šolah ter promovirati metode raziskovanja. V svojem drugem letu se je projekt Xperimania osredotočil na lastnosti vsakdanjih predmetov in vlogo kemije pri njihovi izdelavi.

Abstract

Xperimania is organised by Appe, and coordinated by European Schoolnet. All schools in the European Union are invited to join. Attracting young talent has become a major challenge for the chemical industry. Numerous studies of science teaching have shown that we should change the way that science is taught in schools, and promote teaching practices based on inquiry-based methods. To help teachers make science lessons more fun and interesting, Xperimania, now in its second year, will concentrate on the properties of familiar objects and how chemistry contributes to them
