In the last 11 years, La main à la pâte has contributed

a lot to the promotion and renewal of primary science

education in France.

The project was founded in 1996 on the initiative of

Physics Nobel Prize winner Georges Charpak and the

French Académie des sciences.

Primary school children are introduced to natural sciences

with an inquiry-based learning method.

La main à la pâte in German

What have we done so far? We have translated and adapted:

100 teaching units (sequences, modules, reports) the pedagogical documentation a small part of the scientific documentation (biology, electricity,

human biology) a small part of the questions archives almost all general texts about La main à la pâte the excerpts of the children's experimental notebooks

Interactivity of the pages

What will we do?: Build up an experts network Continue with the translations/adaptation Install a forum ...
