### Brainstorming on Level 1 recommendations

Different proposals are listed. On each proposal, you can react,
start a discussion. You can also create new proposals.

1 * Objective<br>
------------
(Please, comment, criticize if necessary, add ideas, contribute)

* Define and explain the basic concepts and associate them with the correct vocabulary

* Detect users who like to ask questions to themselves, are curious, and seem to 
present the ability to go to level 2, and encourage them.


2 * Ideas for teaching method<br>
----------------------
(Please, comment, criticize if necessary, add ideas, contribute)

* Simples and short sentences.

* Stay as close as possible to the sensitive experiences of everyday life.
Learning the scientific method means first observing nature, then questioning it
on simple and specific questions by carrying out experiments. At this basic level,
to start as much as possible from what can be observed, felt in everyday life seems
a good idea (?).
(dream of an educational path to chemistry that would start from taste (salty, sweet, acid, basic,
..., odors, etc ... I don't know if it's possible).


* In the "overview" part of each course, the photos that illustrate the experiences
should illustrate experiments that can be performed with basic equipment
we can find in everyday life. All internaut must be able to redo them
(example: to show the phenomenon of the light refraction, use a glass
water and a pencil, not a laser beam). We have the "beyond" part to inspire them, 
to amaze and enchant them, to show what is done in our laboratories).


3 * Mathematical background<br>
-----------------------
(Please, comment, criticize if necessary, add ideas, contribute)

* use only integers and real numbers, fractions (but this will require
a course on fractions) and the 4 basic operations: sum, subtraction,
multiplication and division.
