摘要：Recreational science experiences were used as a teaching tool in the learning process
of two basic concepts at primary school level: pressure and density. These kinds of
resources are widely spread as hook methodologies in non-formal educative areas, but
this work puts them into the formal school space. A comparative study in four primary
students groups was carried out, involving up to 82 students of 10-11 years old. Control
groups were submitted to the traditional oral-based classroom whereas the
experimental groups underwent a novel teaching methodology totally based on
recreational science experiences. The results showed that although the immediate
knowledge acquisition is similar in both cases, the use of recreational science inside
classroom enhances the remembrance of the learning experience and probably links
positive emotions to science education.
