Abstract

The specific project has to do with a teaching scenario in Chemistry, aiming to mobilize and reflect on issues of pseudoscience or misleading the public, on scientific issues in a digital world full of information overload, challenges and deceptions. Based on the discovery-investigation and collaborative group method, using modern digital tools, the teaching scenario has its main goal the education of active and concerned students-digital citizens on issues of science and scientific deception. It can serve as a guide to be adapted to other Science subjects such as Biology and Physics, serving corresponding teaching objectives for students in the 3rd year of middle school and high school classes.
