Analyzing the natural science books we can notice that in the different units the themes are taught in a direct way introducing in every concept the relation with the everyday life of the students. Optics themes are included in a very good way. The programs some teachers are facing now is that some of them do not have enough experience in this change so a training program has been establish to improve their skills to show them how to implement experiments about the theoretical concepts and to have a wider amount of experiment to enrich the subject.
