Due to my Masters Degree in Sciences Didactics by the Natural Sciences School of the Lisbon University I developed a site dedicated to the Experimental Teaching of Sciences to the 1st cycle of the Portuguese Primary Education. The study was developed with students of the 4th year of schooling and was called Conception, Construction, Publication and Validation of an Experimental Work Promotor Site in the 1st Cycle. Its purpose was the conception of activities, construction and publication of free digital educative resources properly to ages and curricular demands of the target audience and the validation of the respective didactic contents by experts in many different areas (Almeida, 2007).
