Learning physics with the body

• Experiments can be one way to interest pupils in science. Here, we describe experiments that incorporate children’s experiences of the body in a setting outside the classroom and shared with teacher students. Pre- and post-tests show that children recalled a number of significant observations concerning the concepts of gravity and inertia. In interviews after the event, the children had a chance to reflect on their experiences. Their responses are analysed and categorised with a socio-cultural approach of learning.
