Problems in engaging children in science, or sustaining interest from a young age, were seen as key issues at Children in Scotland's 'Why is the Sky Blue? Exploring Children's Participation in Science' conference. A conference report offers ways to tackle these problems. Suggestions include matching children's early experiences to a better understanding of how they develop and the need for more opportunities to explore science out of school. The report is available free of charge from Leanne Mabberley at Children in Scotland on 0131 222 2410.
