Description

Preschool teachers make a great effort to show science content to the children they oversee, but the conceptual and operational tools they were provided with in their training are insufficient for them to design and evaluate meaningful scientific experiences. Therefore, it is important to provide them with elements that allow them to bring science closer to the children in an effective and playful way. This project presents the results of a physics teaching course under the scheme of the New Mexican School for preschool teachers in hybrid mode: using a digital platform for activities, permanent advisory support, synchronous online work sessions and face-to-face sessions where simple low-cost experiments are shown.
