Abstract
In this paper, we explore the possibilities to teach astronomy through gastronomy, based on multisensory learning, embodiment and storytelling. To achieve this, we follow an interdisciplinary methodology based on Munari´s projective model and the storytelling, through this approach, we present 3 didactical prototypes based on gastronomical experiences that bring the whole community closer to astronomical concepts, with a special emphasis on blind and partially sighted people to the concepts of: Solar System, Meteorite and Solar eclipse.
