O1. Recognize that the electric current carries energy and that the variation of a magnetic field can lead to the creation of an electric current; O2. Describe the main respiratory structures of animals and understand their functioning; O3. Understand the process of cellular respiration in animals; O4. Explain the influence of the main factors which influence photosynthesis and describe the main stages of this process; O5. Understand the reproduction of seed plants; O6. Understand the dynamic pedological and lithological processes; O7. Analyze collected data and interpret results of an experimental procedure in light of a given model or theoretical framework; O8.

The exploration of all themes (CP1; CP2; CP3) aims that the students acquire a set of fundamental scientific knowledge about the various themes of natural and physical sciences (O1 a O6). It is intended that the students integrate the scientific knowledge that were acquired in the various addressed themes (CP1; CP2; CP3) in the interpretation of phenomena and in the resolution of everyday problems (O8). It is also intended that the contents of this CU are addressed so that the students are able to analyse the collected data and interpret results of an experimental procedure (O7). In addition, the exploration of all contents (CP1; CP2; CP3) promote the ability of the students to analyse critically situations and scientific evidences and to argue sustainably their ideas (O8 e O9).
Teaching activities will focus on: a) the analysis and discussion of evidences and of situations that allow the acquisition of scientific knowledge b) the observation and analysis of structures and physical, chemical and biological phenomena; c) The performance of practical projects and the use if ICT to explore various natural phenomena; and d) the performance of research projects about the different contents. The assessment by frequency will be based on: a) active participation of students in the proposed activities (20%); b) performance and presentation of individual/group works (30%); and c) performance of written tests (50%). CU approval is conditional on an average score of more than 9 on the written test, regardless of a positive score on the remaining validation elements. In the assessment by exam, the classification of the student results exclusively from the classification obtained in a theoretical test.
The methodology of teaching aims to promote the theoretical training and the oriented learning in attendance sessions, a greater agility in relation to the time management and to the autonomous learning. In these classes it will be used the platform Moodle, where there will be available various resources and activities as class supporters. The promotion of active learning methodologies, involving students in processes of investigation that are autonomous, individual or in group, it will be fundamental to the fulfilment of all proposed objectives (O1 a O9). To this end, throughout the TP attendance classes, it will be proportionated various moments of analysis of evidences and of situations that allow the acquisition of scientific and necessary knowledge to the interpretation of physical, chemical, biological and geological phenomena (O1, O2, O3, O4, O5, O6). These classes will be complemented with the performance of research projects about the different contents and the respective presentation, in different supports and in class, by the students. In these presentations they should argue scientifically and show critical thinking that contributes to the resolution of environmental problems of daily life (O8). The laboratory practical activities take up a primordial importance in this CU. It will be performed laboratory practical activities of observation of structures or physical, chemical or biological phenomena so that the students improve their scientific knowledge when they analyse and interpret experimental results regarding a certain theoretical framework (O7). The use of ICT will allow the exploration of concepts and various natural phenomena to the achievement of scientific training of the students (O1, O2, O3, O4, O5, O6, O8).
