Abstract

In the science workshop with 5-year-old children in our school, our aim has been to devel-op scientific thinking abilities in them through easy experiments in different sessions. The common purpose is atmospheric pressure. In this three-month workshop we have dealt with the scientific method telling stories, accumulating information and materials, explain-ing hypothesis, learning from mistakes, creating amazing phenomena and noting down everything we have learnt in different worksheets. Children have plenty of fun and the cost of the workshop is really low. For this reason, we encourage all the teachers at this level to include science in their timetables.
