Italian Project: The Museum of Chemistry, From the Past to the Future through the Lab

During the last several years, the Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry Department of the University of Genova (DCCI) has developed a few projects with the specific target of helping younger generations approach science in a correct and fascinating way, to contribute fostering the future scientific and technological development of society. In this paper the project, we describe a visit to the Museum of Chemistry of the DCCI followed by a laboratory activity, where the students are provided an opportunity to appreciate chemistry from a more complete point of view. At the end of the activities, a questionnaire is distributed to the teachers, to evaluate their appreciation of both the museum and how the laboratory contributes to the project. An analysis of the results is also reported
