Abstract
There are several methods of teaching science which have been shown to have a potential to increase pupils' motivation to study science and improve attitudes toward science. One of them is inquiry-based science education which offers, like project-based teaching, a great part if initiative to pupils.
It is also recommended to link teaching to every day topics pupils are interested in and infl uenced by. We have therefore suggested an inquiry-based practical activity inspired by a medical case report describing allergy to cow milk proteins and using a sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) to visualize proteins from different samples.
