Integration of three courses (German, natural sciences and home economics) was the basic guidance at the planning of the unit Spaghetti with tomato sauce. That was also the reason, that the work took place at different places in the school with different accessories. It begun with the theoretical part in the classroom for German language, it was continued in the school laboratory and it ended with cooking in the classroom for home economics. The task of the pupils was to plan their work and carry it out in majority independently only with the impulse of the teachers. The task could only be managed, when the group was working together. The goal was to find a dish, that the majority of European teenagers like the most. To write down the ingredients of that dish with its nutrients. Find on the Internet with which experiment this nutrients can be proofed and make the experiment. And at the end to cook spaghetti with tomato sauce. The teachers were omoderators and helped with the experimenting. We introduced the tasks on and with different tools and than the responsibility was lying in the hands of each individual and the whole group. The important precedence of our “experiment” were, that we proofed, that a foreign language is not an obstacle at work in different subjects, that the pupils are capable, with a good guidance, to plan and experiment individually and to cook a good dish. The most important thing at this kind of work is a qualitative communication and cooperation of all partners at work.
