FisAstEE is a project that intends to disclose Physics and Astronomy activities for parents of children at primary school. The instructions are imbibed in a video form, showing all the materials that are needed to create the experiments. The material resources are inexpensive and can be found at any home. Each video stops at a certain point to spark the curiosity of the children when the parents make the experiments with them. A second video is also available for parents with the scientific explanation. 1 Introduction In Portugal, there are initiatives for the training of teachers and the dissemination of science to children in early years [1], following what is done in other European countries, such as Greece [2]. The long-term involvement of these children can have a significant impact on education research and scientific dissemination, in schools and in society itself [3]. It is known that the central role of parents in the form of 'good parenting at home' has a significant positive effect on children's performance and adjustment [4]. It is also very important with regard to the acquisition of mathematical and scientific skills, and produces a great impact on the development of children's own perceptions of self-competence [5]. There is a greater retention of scientific information by the children when they talk about the subjects addressed in the classroom with their parents, even when they do not have a specific scientific knowledge [6]. However, despite the large investment by parents in the learning process of their students, many of them consider that science is “less important to support at home than literacy and the development of social skills” [7]. This project aims to counter this effect, by raising the awareness of parents about the importance of science in people’s life and how they can help to develop proactive attitudes towards science in young people. Although a few parents feel very confident in their ability to support students in learning science, we want to instill the idea that science is not dogmatic but questionable, through active processes that include exploring, observing, presenting plausible ideas, testing, collecting data, concluding and proposing solutions to problems [7]. Several authors [8][9][10] point out and describe the importance of parents to improve their children’s learning and develop skills, as well as the influence they have on increasing interest in sciences.
