This is a scientific project aiming at explaining the abstract concept of energy, as studied in the physics lessons at school, through the use of energy in real life situations, as encountered in different countries, namely Italy and France. The project aims at stimulating a wider view of the scientific topics. The students will be asked to search for information in real life situations and to share their findings with the students from the other country. In doing so, the students will both broaden their understanding and improve their social competence and language skills.
