Explorers, The

Synopsis

Shows two comparative case histories on science topics in a Darlington school: experiments and investigations of the seven-year-olds started from a farm visit, and those of a group of ten-year-olds from questions about air. In each case, the children chose to pursue questions in pairs, small groups or as individuals.
