European Discoveries and Inventions
A project coordinated by La Main à la Pâte and L' Ecole des Sciences de Bergerac, involving the creation of a data base with European scientific discoveries and inventions by pupils aged 8 to 11 from European schools.
Throughout the project, pupils carried out documentary research into a major scientific discovery or invention in their own country and reproduced the phenomenon in their class using locally available material.
