"Basically I am a matter of light"

Abstract

This paper discusses the concept of "Light" and "Shadows" as studied in the Experimental Class of a Greek Elementary school. These concepts of natural sciences were taught by using artworks, literature, but also by referring to relevant museums' websites, educational foundations' websites and especially to children activities that those institutions offer. The students experienced natural science in a non-conventional way and they brought their experiences into the classroom. It was a successful process of triggering children's imagination and creativity.
