- Case study n.º 9 on experiential education in kindergarden: Germinating SeedsPublication . Alves, Alice Cardoso Fontes Santos; Mesquita, Cristina; Rodrigues, Maria JoséScience 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.
