| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of our study is (1) to develop the scientific and mathematical activity for young children aged from 2- to 8-year old and (2) to analyze the features of scientific exploration in these activities. The main results of our study are as follows; [1] The total number of the scientific and mathematical activities we had developed for three years are 31.[2] The main results of the analysis of preschoolers’ and early elementary grades’explorations are as follows; (1) Most of the young children’s exploration occurred in three periods of developmental change. (2) Most of young children have the tendency to repeat the same experiment many times after they found the result. (3) The communication during their exploration has three patterns which means (i) they have no communication each other and no change of their expression, (ii) they think aloud while being written all over their faces, (iii) they have talked with friends while being written all over their faces.
