Teaching and learning of Chemistry during science outreach activities in the community

The space of the present investigation was the event called National Week of Science and Technology, in which it was promoted that High School students with low academic performance in the subjects of Chemistry I and II, from the city of La Paz, Baja California South, Mexico, will be motivated to acquire their own learning in the area of Chemistry. This process allowed the transfer of that theoretical knowledge by reproducing it in simple and attractive laboratory experiments for preschool children in the community who participated in this science outreach program. The experimental model with a quantitative paradigm was used, where the analysis of the measurement instruments of the variables indicated the effectiveness of the activities carried out in the acquisition of significant learning in Chemical Sciences in both groups; as well as the importance of interacting with the steps of the scientific method and handling reagents, materials and laboratory equipment. Significant learning in the subject of Chemistry II in adolescent students and acquisition of new knowledge in science in children of early school age who were involved in laboratory activities were verified.
