Summary/Abstract: Science is everywhere, it is part of every feature of our lives and it is known that plays an important role in influencing the activities of human beings. However there is a worldwide declining interest in the field. Herein we propose methods: analogies and metaphors, correlating science with everyday life, the role of science in daily life – to improve the way teachers explain scientific topics in order to help attract the attention of students to science. The use of these methods have already been effectively used in many countries, where students are being able to comprehend difficult and tricky subjects in a clear, understandable manner.
