| Research Abstract |
Astronomy kids fun activity at nursery school was made. The purpose is to improve children's, teachers', and parents' interests in the sky and the universe, and to improve children's scientific view and ways of thinking. I found that activity about universe can be incorporated in ordinary nurse and care activity, and that the activity is effective to improve children's scientific basis, including children's trying to say what they feel and think and to exchange what they say. Though the contents are related to the universe, I found that the activity can be made in various ways even in urban area, daytime, and inside the rooms.
