Moreover, for the high schools and adult leaners (students who for any reason had dropped out school), we dedicated part of the lessons to focus on the format and demands of the higher educational level entrance tests. Concerning the teaching of natural science, my tasks were the same as the ones mentioned in the previous section. In relation to the high school and adult students. Besides them, except for the science fairs, my tasks were: ● Integrating Biology with other subjects. ● Helping students to analyze and interpret the life dynamics, make predictions about living beings functioning and evolution, and their relationship with natural phenomena and technological processes. ● Investigating problem situations using scientific and technological knowledge. ● Emphasizing relevant knowledge related to the working environment. ● Advancing in ethical and responsible arguments and attitudes towards different audiences. ● Developing advanced arguments and higher reasoning in order to propose solutions to individual and collective actions.
