The proposal is dedicated to enhance the importance of plants in our lives, understanding and estimating them; as well as compromising for the looking for a solution to a real problem “the lack of food” in many countries.
It tries to offer a way of teaching and learning Natural Science in conditions of uncertainty. So it is presented as a Moodle course that can be followed by in-service or pre-service Infant Teachers from home (Scientix Moodle). For this purpose, the course includes presentations, photos, videos, and communication applications.
Addressed to pre-school, primary students, and to Special Needs Education students. It has been applied largely by pre-service teachers from UA in their Practicum phases.
It includes different STEAM subjects, such as Natural Science, Geography, Maths, Ethics, and Engineering; since its lessons engage literacy (readings about water in the world, scientific language) and numeracy (studying the quantity of water in countries), physical health (vegetables for food) and emotional foundations (happiness to help people)
In the same way, it implies some STEAM careers, from Urban growers, Botanic and ecological specialists to Greeners and Civil Engineers.
It enhances the 1ST CENTURY SKILLS, critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity, especially about our responsibility in the preservation of our environment and the looking for solutions to food problems and migration to better places to live.
It involves, as key aims, the understanding of the way plants obtain their food following of an inquirí-based process as well as promoting an appreciation of plants. Students will be engaged in hands-on steps and activities in their familiar natural environment.
To this end, four topics are proposed; My natural environment, Plants nutrition, Seeds growing and The problem of water.
