Abstract

In order to develop students' holistic concept of natural phenomena, the process of education must adopt a systematic approach to the integrity of the natural sciences. Such a systematic approach creates preconditions for understanding of educational content and training components in close interaction and for the consistent formation of a holistic understanding of the world. Interdisciplinary integration is realized through inquiry-based teaching/learning method. Scientific investigation is usually associated with knowledge of different subjects, so usage of interdisciplinary relations is indispensable for the full justification and explanation of the phenomenon or process. While analysing natural phenomena and regularities, it is important to find common points, using existing and new knowledge from physics, chemistry, biology, ecology and others. Only in this way will be developed a holistic conception of the world. This article presents the interdisciplinary links by experimentally exploring the phenomenon of osmosis. Giving one research example, Natural science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) and Maths subject relationship realisation didactic possibilities are revealed in the presented analysis. The research organization and methodology of its performance, the essence of the practical work, results and conclusions are discussed. The research is proposed to to carry out in a few different lessons (physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics), which enable a systematic and integrated way for students to convey the essence of the phenomenon. Osmosis research and analysis organization scheme is presented. Wide and deep osmosis process interdisciplinary links are distinguished. How osmosis phenomenon can properly understand and master by the stages in each subject lesson are shown in.
