Description

Elixir to Schools started ten years ago as a project aimed at improving physics education in the Czech Republic. It soon became apparent that it was sensible to support teachers from the primary school, and over time the support was extended to preschool teachers as well. Therefore, for the last five years, Elixir to schools has also targeted these teachers. This contribution has two main aims. To introduce the structure of support Elixir offers to the teachers of the young children and to present in details some of the physics activities used.
