Linking context, competencies and modeling. Is it possible to teach science to all people?

The recommendation to teach science in context, through Models, to acquire competences, applies to all teaching without differentiating between the basic and the non-compulsory levels. But the purpose of learning science in the stage of compulsory education (for what and why teach) is very different from that of the non-compulsory stage, when science students have chosen this subject among others. Therefore, to teach science to all, the curriculum of the basic cycle must be designed with more freedom, so that the school sciences provide resources to understand the functioning of the world in which we live, to be able to speak of it with a language (scientific) that has in account the experimental intervention in context and the values that regulate it. Learning should be evaluated according to this recommendation. In this lecture we will reflect on the design of a curriculum for the teaching of a `science for all' that develops genuine scientific activity, in which the Theoretical Models of the different scientific disciplines converge.
