Alternative experimental activities of eighth grade Chemistry with a creative and innovative approach

Abstract

Introduction: The present work aims to socialize the results of the use of alternative experimental activities in the subject, with a creative and innovative approach. Materials and methods: However, the application of theoretical and empirical research methods show that there are still difficulties regarding the role of the student in the development of these activities, their creative, problematizing and contextualized nature. Results: The experiment constitutes the main way that Chemistry teaching has, so that students become directly familiar with the phenomena and processes related to substances, their properties and applications. Discussion: In the Chemistry program, for the Cuban secondary school, the realization of experimental activities directed to that purpose is included. Conclusions: Creativity can be developed through the design and implementation of alternative and complementary experimental activities, to those already conceived in the course program, as demonstrated by the innovative proposal carried out and successfully implemented by the authors of this work.
