Abstract :

In this work the results of organizing the scientific game “Young scientists” are shown. This game was carried out in three secondary and high schools in Bogota with about two hundred students from 9th grade. Different teams of students competed with each other answering questions and doing special tasks in this game. This activity, outside normal classes, showed positive results in increasing level of students’ interests to study science subjects and provided space for raising motivation, stimulating learning and developing high levels of skill in students.
