很多时候，设计师认为复杂的科学和探索周期超出了幼儿（5- 8岁）的能力。然而，通过精心设计的调解人，我们认为这些概念完全在他们的掌握之中。在本文中，我们描述了两个设计迭代的BeeSign模拟软件，旨在帮助幼儿了解蜜蜂收集花蜜从复杂系统的角度来看。我们总结了两项研究的结果表明，这种设计已经成功地在教学和激励这些年幼的孩子，并展示了如何活动理论可以指导设计。
All too often, designers assume that complex science and cycles of inquiry are beyond the capabilities of young children (5--8 years old). However, with carefully designed mediators, we argue that such concepts are well within their grasp. In this paper we describe two design iterations of the BeeSign simulation software that was designed to help young children learn about honeybees collect nectar from a complex systems perspective. We summarize findings from two studies that suggest that this design has been successful in teaching and motivating these young children and demonstrates how activity theory can guide design.
