Science learning in preschool is considered to be important and is promoted by a number of initiatives. However, there is a lack of research particularly concerning young children's science knowledge and learning. Research has shown that play is the most appreciated mode of learning by young children. Based on recent findings that structuring the learning process in play based curricula increases learning gains of children, this research project investigates the impact of material and/or verbal structuring in the domain of statics. The domain of statics is particularly appropriate, because it may be found potentially in block play and is an example for science learning. Hence, a pre-post-follow up design including experimental and control groups of preschool children will be applied. The children operate with specially prepared building blocks. The effect of material and verbal structuring is analyzed by a controlled use of both. Previous knowledge and learning progress are captured by designed tests (pre-post-follow-up tests, transfer-tests). An interview allows the in-depth detection of knowledge in the domain of statics.

科学学习在学前被认为是重要的，并由一些倡议促进。然而，关于幼儿科学知识和学习的研究却很少。研究表明，玩耍是幼儿最欣赏的学习方式。基于最近的研究发现，在以游戏为基础的课程中构建学习过程可以提高儿童的学习收益，本研究项目调查了静态领域中材料和/或语言结构的影响。静态领域尤其合适，因为它可能存在于积木游戏中，并且是科学学习的一个例子。因此，我们将采用学前儿童的前-后随访设计，包括实验组和对照组。孩子们用专门准备的积木操作。通过对材料结构和言语结构的控制使用来分析材料结构和言语结构的效果。以前的知识和学习进展是通过设计的测试（前后跟踪测试，转移测试）来捕获的。面试可以让你深入了解静力学领域的知识。
