Nota
Exploring natural materials offers countless opportunities for inclusive science. At the
Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona (Natural Science Museum of Barcelona), we
know that looking closely at real materials creates a very valuable context for promoting
an understanding of the world and nature, and, therefore, learning sciences. However,
getting natural materials to stimulate scientific learning invariably means mobilising
teaching strategies that reach all children. These approaches need to spark pertinent questions, generate interest in developing and checking hypotheses, encourage
comparing and searching for explanations. They should also enrich relationships
between children and the materials and also between peers.
Based on exploring natural materials of animal, plant and geological origin, we raise
concerns and questions, stimulate hypotheses, look for evidence and compare ideas
about aspects that captivate our interest.
