Oxidations in biology and pharmacology. Integration of knowledge on immunity, diet and medicaments

Abstract

An innovative teaching experience in the field of natural sciences is reported. It was carried out with the seventh level pupils (12 to 13 years old) from a primary school depending on the Ministry of Education of Buenos Aires (Argentina). In several laboratory works, different knowledge impaired or generated by the University of Buenos Aires and other foreign institutions were communicated. Diverse information from different school and university disciplines was related in a way adapted to student features. In this manner, the school curricula was enriched with other contents and scopes. This activity belongs to the pedagogical series From University to School and relates three relevant university functions: teaching, research and extension of work to other social sectors.
