Public forum
A place of reflections, exchanges, proposals for every aspect of science teaching in primary school
Statistics:• Opening of the discussion list : 1998
(migration into a forum in 2006)• Number of subscribers : 2800 in
2010• ~ 20 messages / month• One moderator
Examples of questions • How can I work on the sundial
with young students ?
• Are there other classes interested in exchanging on regional building construction ?

Internet consultation of scientists and trainers
Not always possible to have a personal scientific partner
On La main à la pâte Website• 200 consultants
– 100 scientists– 100 trainers– On a voluntary basis
• From 10 to 100 questions / week(~ 3 000 archived)
• moderators: (biology + physics)*(science + pedagogy)

How does-it work?
1. Teacher ask a question
2. Good questions (~ 10 % : primary school, not already asked….) are sent to consultants
3. Good answers (~ 90 % : correct, accessible) are sent to teachers
4. Question and answers are archived on the website (> 2500)

Scientific questions (60%)
Examples of scientific questions• General knowledge : What is an electron ?• Experiment : We fabricated hot balloons with a ten
liter plastic bag, we heat the air inside but it didn’t want to get up, why ?
• Children : Why is the sea blue ?
