AB The science teaching and learning process should begin at the initial education levels, offeringstudents experiences connected to their natural world. However, little science is accomplishedin pre-primary education, especially when it comes to curricular content on physics. Thisresearch describes an intervention in early childhood education classrooms where six-yearoldswork on a scientific phenomenon, thermal conductivity. Participants are 127 children aged5-6. Data collection was right after and one year from the intervention. Results revealed thatstudents could transfer what they have learned to other everyday contexts after the intervention–although they exhibited far more difficulties a year later. There were no gender differencesfound in the first posttest, although females solved the activity better one year later. Thus, morevast interventions should be considered to facilitate the inclusion of science as regularcurricular content.
