Alimentary Frauds at School: An Innovative Chance to Learn Science

This paper summarizes an experimental and exciting approach to the teaching of scientific school subjects in secondary schools. A multidisciplinary, integrate and interactive approach to the chemistry and scientific school subjects was approached starting from a simulated hypothetical alimentary fraud implicating DOC Italian wines as concrete case study. Students improve their knowledge on spectrophotometry throughout an interdisciplinary and multi-level approach to the study of the science involving different scientific school subjects (mathematic, physic, chemistry, and biology), informatics, and English language. This approach resulted exciting and innovative and students’ knowledge significantly improved as evidenced by results documented by the ante-activity and post-activity questionnaire .
