2.3 Structuring the CASE Material

In CASE, science and art are intertwined, as shown in Table 1 below. The interaction between these
fields within IBSE requires creative solutions on the part of both students and teachers and enables
new ways of thinking about the science curriculum. In CASE, a core cycle of query, evidence collection,
analysis, explanation, connection, communication and reflection is adopted and at the same time
puppetry, theater, slowmation and digital storytelling in science education create a multi modal
learning environment. Science understanding is based on the use of models, representations and
other forms of visualization, in order to explain, clarify and demonstrate complex or abstract
phenomena (Seroglou, 2006). We are using the steps of the Inquiry Based Science Education Circle
(figure 3).

CASE has been funded within the framework of the European 17
Union Erasmus+ programme.
