Welcome to the Hands-on Science Network!

The improvement of the levels of quality and effectiveness in school science education can hardly be achieved in a non supporting environment, provided by societies with a low level of Scientific Literacy, and without an effective change in the way Science Education is traditionally approached in our schools. The method that drives the pursuit of scientific knowledge should be the starting driving and guiding basis of all process of in-school teaching/learning of science. Leading the students to a pro-active posture and an active volunteer commitment in hands-on experimental activities: by observing, analyzing critically, deducing, reasoning, defining, discussing, experimenting... "making" (learning) science as scientists do... ...towards a better Science Education... HSCI Network President - Manuel Filipe Pereira da Cunha Martins Costa |
