Abstract:	Using a qualitative methodology and based on the observations of children in a freechoice activity in a science museum, this research focuses on determining which learning processes take place during these sessions. The learning processes of the activities were analysed based on three phases: Experience, Explicitation and Evolution. The results obtained indicate that the value of the scientific learning of the activity is found in providing children with direct experience with the material. This also favours the explicitation of their ideas and provides abundant stimuli that can generate the evolution of ideas. However, this evolution requires cooperation from other contexts, and greater continuity.
