Abstract
- Guía con el Título "Scientific literacy at the school. An inquiry about What is the world made of?" producto del proyecto "Scientific literacy at the school: Improving strategies and building new practices of science teaching in early years education (SciLit)" financiado mpor la Comisión Europea y coordinado por "El CSIC en la Escuela". PDF de 125 páginas.<br />[EN] This teaching guide has come out of the joint work of CSIC scientists and educators from Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Italy, and Spain, which established a network of constant communication in order to implement innovative practices in science teaching for early educational stages. It is likely that the success of this collaboration is due to the way human beings are attracted to the processes of discovery and exhibiting their new knowledge, as well as learning and teaching what they have found out: this is the essence of our nature, particularly in childhood. Indeed, teachers and scientists feel this attraction most strongly, and we are lucky to have them aboard in this project. We have been able to investigate the capacity of children to visualise the world they cannot see with their eyes, so all the activities described below deal with the difference between the macroscopic and microscopic worlds. In the research the students do, they find out what water is made of, what forces act when a drop sticks to another substance, what happens during evaporation, and how a paper clip can be supported by water.<br />European Commission 2016 -1- ES01- KA201- 025282
