Abstract(s)
Science activities provide opportunities for cooperation,
negotiation, rules following, rights and duties understanding, group
involvement learning, and education for citizenship. These are
essential skills for critical thinking and to create, conscious,
participatory and supportive autonomous citizens. The learning
experiences developed in kindergarten constitute an excellent way to
use procedures and skills such as: observing, recording, measuring,
comparing, counting, describing, and interpreting. These skills are not
exclusive of science; these are capabilities that enhance a holistic
worldview. In this study we describe an experimental activity, in the
scope of botany, associated with the conditions that allow seeds to
grow. This subject is present in the everyday life of children and the
discussion of these issues enables them to understand the world.
