Teaching Science Using the Language of Nature: Winter Comes to Our Campus

Through science education that provides integration with nature, students can enter into a positive relationship with scientific knowledge and find the opportunity to have a meaningful learning experience. This study on the theme “winter comes to our campus”was carried out with the interwoven techniques of observation and experimentation. The concept of photosynthesis, a subject of biology, has been treated here with an integrated approach that combines geography (the world’s axis, natural phenomena), chemistry (the method of separation of molecular structures), physics (the interaction between light and matter) and fine arts (the harmony of colors displayed by plants at the changing of the seasons). The project stimulates students to adopt an integrated perspective on science.
