Let me suggest that you don't present research, you let them see. Invite 
a group of kids to your presentation and have them engage in your best 
learning activity. Their enthusiasm should convince anyone that they are 
engaged with science and are learning.

hi,

I have to make a case to a bunch of science profs about how kids younger
than 8 years old can do meaningful science. This group has been 
resistant to
that notion, to say the least. I have a ton of bits of research to back 
me
up. However, do any of you know of one clear, concise article or two 
that
also makes that case and that I can share easily with the group?

Thank you, and if I'm forgetting that this question was already handled 
on
this listserv, please remind me of where to look.

Ben
