Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

The practical and experimental activities strengthen learning, even in virtuality it is possible to learn as they would in the school laboratory.
From virtuality the house becomes the learning classroom. Using the resources that this offers, we support our students to continue learning. In the lockdown it is possible to learn, generate curiosity and amazement, in such trivial situations as cooking, removing stains clothes, cleaning grease, etc.
Preparing a recipe takes us into the the scientific method steps, in designing experimental activities. Using the kitchen and the laundry areas as an extension of the school laboratory is an excellent resource for creativity, experimentation is generated and learning is achieved in a practical way.
When cooking, washing the dishes, cleaning the house or washing clothes, countless chemical changes, chemical reactions and the formation of new compounds take place.
