Abstract
This paper investigates the familiarization of primary school students with some scientific practices after the implementation of a STEM education program. The STEM education program focuses on collecting, analyzing, comparing data from different sources – meteorological stations and gives students the opportunity to “practice” some of the scientific practices. First findings reveal that the implementation of STEM education program may help students recognize and use specific scientific practices such as developing and using models, analyzing and interpreting data, and using mathematics.
