The unit guides students and teachers through a multidisciplinary pathway that integrates biology and physics to understand how light reflected from objects is focused on the retina, transduced by photoreceptors (cones and rods) into electrical signals, and transmitted along the optic nerve to the cortical areas responsible for vision.
The use of digital and AR tools is intended to make otherwise invisible processes visible (activation of photopigments, routing of neural signals), clearly and progressively linking anatomical structures with physical principles.

The unit guides students and teachers through an interdisciplinary pathway integrating physics, chemistry, and technology to understand how solar energy is captured and converted into electrical energy through photovoltaic cells. Students will explore the journey of photons from sunlight to the generation of electric current, analyzing the layered structure of solar cells (P-N junction, semiconductors), the photovoltaic effect, and electron flow mechanisms.The use of digital and AR tools is intended to make otherwise invisible processes visible (photon absorption, electron-hole pair generation, electric field in the junction, current flow), clearly and progressively linking physical principles with technological applications for sustainable energy generation.
