Project Watching the Sky: a playful and constructivist approach in the practice of night sky observation to 2^nd grade elementary school students in the city of Santo André

Abstract

Currently, the population shows a growing interest in astronomy-related content. The contact with informal spaces, such as planetariums and observatories, can help to better problematize the subject with children and adults. This paper presents the proposal made by the Johannes Kepler Planetarium to introduce astronomy in a playful way for elementary school students in the city of Santo André.
