Modern education, in which the student is actively taking part in his own advancement, must offer the informal and, most of all, the formal framework so necessary in achieving scientific knowledge, useful in daily routine.
The new concepts, sometimes difficult to understand, could be easily assimilated by studying the sciences of life, in a coherent, concise and practical approach.

Purpose: - the improvement of a profound study of life sciences ( Biology, Physics and Chemistry) , by applying interactive methods, in an interdisciplinary manner; this
project will definitely increase students' abilities of correlating notions, phenomenons, causes and effects.

The main target: - elaborating a complete set of modern , efficient and easy to apply methods, in order to attract students towards the interdisciplinary study of Biology, Physics and Chemistry.

Targets: The modern methods will increase students' desire to explore the world of science by:
-doing practical experiments;
-manufacturing school supplies;
-guiding the use of modern bibliographical resources concerning a proper documentation;
-using IT applied to the interdisciplinary study of sciences;
-writing original scientific essays and projects or presenting the subject using PPT;
-implementing simple assessment tests , in order to underline the correct application of the new scientific concepts;
-developing students' speaking abilities (English);
