CHILDREN'S IDEAS IN SCIENCE

Discover the fascinating insights of young minds with Children's Ideas in Science, a compelling exploration by the Open University Press. This 1985 reprint of the first Berlin Heid edition delves into the perceptions of school students aged 10 to 16 as they engage with natural phenomena, including light, heat, force and motion, the structure of matter, and electricity. Remarkably, these concepts are examined even before students have received systematic instruction, offering a unique perspective on their initial understanding. The book also investigates how these ideas evolve and transform through teaching, making it an essential resource for educators and anyone interested in the cognitive development of children in science.
