Natural Sciences – Uncover the Secrets of the World!

The “Big World for Little People” program consists of a series of experiential experiments that introduce children to the exciting world of Physics. Through play and experimentation, children explore basic concepts such as light, electricity, magnetism, simple machines and more.

The “Big World for Little People” program is an exciting journey full of experiments, discoveries and fun! Through experiential activities, children become young researchers and come into contact with fundamental concepts of physics, such as:

• The mystery of light: How does light bend? How are rainbows created? Children solve these mysteries and more by constructing their own prisms and experimenting with optics.
• The power of electricity: What is static electricity? How do batteries work? Children bring electricity to life by building simple circuits and setting objects in motion!
• The magical world of magnetism: How do magnets interact? How are compasses made? Children become the wizards of magnetism, exploring the invisible forces that surround them.
• Simple machines: How do levers, pulleys and wheels work? Children build their own toys and mechanisms, understanding the basic principles of Mechanics.

The “Big World for Little People” program is ideal for first, second and third grade children and can be adapted to the needs and interests of each group, ensuring an exciting and meaningful educational experience.

Imagine a program where children don’t just learn about physics, but “live” it!
