The textbook is a learning tool that helps learners to develop positive attitudes, knowledge and skills. This implies that the textbook offers situations based on a variety of scientific approaches. The experimental approach is one of the most widely used approaches in life and earth science teaching and contributes to the preparation of an individual able to adapt to his or her environment. In this context, the question arises to what extent the life and earth science textbook integrates the steps of the experimental approach? To answer this question, we have analyzed the "Fi Rehab Life and Earth Sciences" textbook of the third year of secondary education. This analysis has shown that some stages of the experimental approach have been well developed while others are neglected. This requires extra effort when revising or designing textbooks, taking into account all stages of the experimental approach and focusing on the learner. The latter is the most important clue in the development of the teaching and learning process.
