The design structure involves the following steps:

  • reasoning the importance of the experimental approch in teaching;
  • presenting the hypothesis or hypoteses that require the initiation of the experiment;
  • updating knowledge and skills necesarry to conduct the experiment;
  • specifying the didactical and technological conditions;
  • the development of the experiment;
  • observing and recording significant events that occur during the experiment;
  • verification and discussion of results;
  • finalizing conclusions.
