Magazine - single copies Exploring the world and beyond: young children as scientists
Children are born discoverers but preserving their inquisitiveness and natural curiosity is a real challenge.
Successfully developing and maintaining children’s interest in science requires an approach that encourages and helps them to explore their environment, construct their own theories and create meaning. Establishing spaces for children to help them discover the world on their own and encouraging a ‘hands-on’ approach are essential to successful science education. Includes examples of innovative science projects for children aged 0-10 years from across Europe.
