Description

Children are interested in astronomy from early age. Numerous studies have been carried out to analyze teacher’s and student’s representations of astronomy. The first one focused by Piaget was concerning children and their development. Another one was carried out by Sharp in 1995. but no study has yet focused on nursery school pupils. We are therefore proposing an approach to astronomy with pupils aged 4 – 5 years to highlight their initial representations and how the activities contribute to the acquisition of scientific knowledge.
