The Laboratory of Natural and Environmental Science Education offers technical and practical experiences that can be useful for planning and carrying out activities on natural sciences in kindergarten and primary school classes. Through selected examples related to specific topics and different learning stages of the students, we will explore fundamental disciplinary contents and available methodologies (individual and team-work, discussions and group presentations, short outdoor experiences, simple experiments and hands-on activities such as herbaria, analyses of images and films, and of the subsidiary).
By studying Laboratory of Natural and Environmental Science Education, the student will achieve the following learning objectives:
As regards knowledge and understanding:
-understand goals, planning and development, and tools of natural science education (development of content, planning of activities, creation and use of materials, observations, and experience).
As regards applying knowledge and understanding:
- ability to develop and implement teaching activities on natural and environmental sciences in the classroom, through ad hoc documentation and proper setting up of necessary instruments and materials.
ability to involve students in respecting the environment and living beings and to promote responsible behaviors in terms of sustainability
As regards independent thinking:
-Acquire an awareness of professional responsibility in terms of environmental ethics.
As regards communication skills:
-ability to communicate contents related to natural and environmental processes through a technical-scientific language, calibrated with the contextual school level.
- ability to set up teaching methodologies for group work, storytelling, class discussion aimed at understanding the natural processes and phenomena and related scientific knowledge.
As regards learning skills:
- openness to discussions and willingness to always improve their own skills and knowledge about nature and the environment and Natural and Environmental Science Education using the available recent literature on the topics.
- aptitude towards transmitting the acquired knowledge about natural and environmental topics in a comprehensible way, through continuous updates about issues related to natural processes and environmental conservation.

During the Lab hours, students will develop two written papers under the guidance of the Instructor. The first written paper will be produced during the first lab class, while the second paper will be prepared over the second and third classes. For this reason, the presence at the first class is mandatory. These two papers will be evaluated by the instructor who will determine if they are sufficient for passing the class.
