Abstract

In this article we present a Teaching-Learning Sequence (TLS) on colour performed in the non-formal setting of a vocational stage with a sample of N=38 18-year-old high school students. Based both on previous educational research and the analysis of the characteristics of the Italian high school curriculum, the TLS adopts cooperative experimental investigation activities with low-cost equipment which help students distinguish different physical situations involving the combination of colours; furthermore, it focuses on developing a solid understanding of the connection between the physics and physiology of colour phenomena. The TLS was highly appreciated by students and, thanks in part to the inclusion of advanced topics such as photonic crystals and plasmons, it may have a significant motivational value.
