“…Regarding the scientific school teaching collections [87], diverse projects have focused on recovering and valorizing of instruments in disused school laboratories, e.g., [88][89][90][91][92][93][94]. The experiences are carried out within the National Plan for Scientific Degrees (Piano Nazionale per le Lauree Scientifiche, PNLS), i.e., a project established in 2014 by the Italian Minister of University and Research to enhance enrollment in science degree programs through workbased learning experiences performed in closed collaboration between teachers, secondary school students, and academic researchers, e.g., [95].…”

School–museum partnerships have gained considerable attention in the academic literature in recent decades. However, their role in enhancing science education is still an under-researched topic. This work reports on the outcomes of the recovery, study, cataloging, and valorization of the 18th century geo-mineralogical collection belonging to the Collegio Nazareno, now housed at the Istituto San Giuseppe Calasanzio in Rome. The project, which was participated in by the students enrolled in the fourth- and fifth-grade high school classes, revealed rare specimens such as the mineralogical collection donated by the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II (1741–1740) in 1785. Furthermore, the laboratory activities organized from the stored samples highlighted educational approaches that helped students to cope with the complexities of authentic scientific work and cultural related issues. This work thus offers significant insights into the importance of natural history school museums as useful (and oft-forgotten) learning tools in science education.

We discuss experiments aimed at retracing some of the experiments on vacuum performed in the 17th century by Boyle and Huygens. We focus on the ‘anomalous suspension’ of water reported by Huygens in 1662. Our revisitation allows to discuss the apparent contrast between the results obtained by Boyle and Huygens. This controversy was one of the first conducted in scientific terms and offers the possibility of illustrating to the students how competitions and debates are conducted in modern science, which appears important in a period in which science is contested by antiscientific movements.

School-museum relations have gained considerable attention in the academic literature in recent decades. However, there still needs to be more research on their role in enhancing science education. This work reports the outcomes of the recovery, study, and valorization of the 18th-century geo-mineralogical collection belonging to the Collegio Nazareno, now housed at the Istituto San Giuseppe Calasanzio in Rome. The project consisted of four phases: 1) the securing of more than 1720 specimens; 2) their cataloging using the Italian national catalographic standards for the mineralogical and petrological heritage; 3) the establishment of new exhibit and storage areas; 4) the development of a self-instructive exhibition itinerary. The project, which was participated by the students enrolled in the fourth and fifth high school classes, revealed fascinating and unique specimens such as the ones collected by prominent Italian naturalists –e.g., Scipione Breislak (1750–1826) and Carlo Giuseppe Gismondi (1762–1824) – or those comprising the mineralogical collection donated by the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II (1741–1740) to the Mineralogical Cabinet of the Collegio Nazareno in 1785. This work thus offers significant insights into the importance of natural history school museums as useful (and oft-forgotten) learning tools in science education.
