With the last sunny days in the Golfo di La Spezia, several students of the Lower Secondary School have followed the wind going up for 3 days on a sailing boat. On each boat were a teacher and a trained skipper, and it was possible for the boys to live the wonder of the sea and of the ecosystem that only a boat can create.
Through an interdisciplinary approach, it was possible to both know and respect the sea and its habitat because, as on the planet, the life on a sailing boat collides with energy resources over (battery, diesel, fresh water, food) and other endless (sun, wind), who discover, with experience, the concept of composition of motions and forces precisely because of the sailing.
