Un laboratorio di meteorologia nella scuola media dell’obbligo

The article is pertinent to a pluridisciplinary experience concerning the different meanings of the Italian word “tempo” which exact translation would be either “time” or “weather”. The experience has been conducted within a triennial program in the first class of a secondary school. The aim of the experience has been that of leading the students, thanks to an active participation, to an objective interpretation of the natural phenomena. We have followed a teaching program which, moving from easy rudiments about the “substance” has dealt with the different aspects of meteorology through laboratory experiences.
