Abstract (EN):
The main target of the workshop is to present
a consequent set of experiments easily performed
in any classroom with a minimum of specific materials.
The experiments to be demonstrated do
not constitute a random set. They were organized
having in mind a definie philosophy of action
which may be represented in a map of scientific
concepts. Besides, this set of experiments is intended
to overcome one of the main problems faced
by Geology Instructors, i.e. the problem of
phenomena visualisation that hampers the conceptualisation
efforts of the students. The logic
consequence of this workshop will be the debate
of the epistemological and didactic roots of Experimental
Instruction in Earth Sciences, emphasizing
the scientific approaches of all the subjects.
