Barns frågor under en naturvetenskaplig aktivitet i förskolan

In this study children´s questions during theme work about soil are analysed. Children´s questions are seen as expressions for children´s learning and sense making. Activities in preschool are abserved through video recordings. Twelve children, three to five years are included in the study. The results are presented on the basis of the focus of the children´s questions and discussed in relation to children´s perspectives,  learning and the development of the theme work over time. The results point at children´s questions as important didactic starting points when interacting about a specific content.
