This article presents the design, planning, classroom implementation and analysis of a sequence of eight artistic installation sessions that make it possible for early-childhood pupils to learn scientific content. Using a descriptive perspective, the study analyses how the activities allow researchers to experiment with each installation’s object to discover the scientific processes involved in their actions, verbalise them, think about what is happening and thus know the science around us.
