Abstract: For the development of the STEM trend in education and the use of interdisciplinary approaches and research methods in teaching, suitable topics for creating lesson units can be used as a basic starting point. The aim of this paper is to present an interdisciplinary lesson combined with research methods, which is on the topic of 'Science of the Rose'. An interdisciplinary connection has been made on the subject in the following academic disciplines: biology, chemistry, physics, history and geography. Tasks are presented for students to perform, applying the project-based approach and the research approach. The applied tasks for the derivation of scientific research results outline the basis of the formation of natural science competences and the development of natural science literacy in students. It is the most appropriate strategy to promote active learning, which covers different hierarchical levels of Bloom's taxonomy, creating a supportive, intellectual and emotional environment for the development of research activity at school.
