Abstract

In the framework of Education to Talent 2, an initiative addressing the subject of gifted children and their problems in adapting to the educational system, a one-day physics laboratory for gifted primary- and middle-school students was organized. Aspects like fast pace, understanding of concepts, and inquiry, crucial ingredients when creating stimulating learning environments for gifted children, were considered in the design of the laboratory activities. This communication gives a detailed description and evaluation of the experiences encountered in the laboratory unit on electricity and discusses the critical points in view of an extension of the approach in regular classrooms.
