    "abstract": "We report our experience in bringing science into US and French classrooms.\nWe participated in the US scientific educational program Project ASTRO. It is\nbased on a partnership between a school teacher and an astronomer. They\ntogether design and realize simple and interesting scientific activities for\nthe children to learn and enjoy science. We present four hands-on activities we\nrealized in a 4th-grade class (10 yr-old kids) in Tucson (USA) in 2002-2003.\nAmong the covered topics were: the Solar System, the Sun (helioseismology) and\nthe Galaxies. We also present a similar experience done in two classrooms in\n2005, in Chatenay-Malabry (France) in partnership with an amateur astronomy\nassociation (Aphelie). This is a pleasant and rewarding activity, extremely\nwell appreciated by the children and the school teachers. It furthermore\npromotes already at a young age the excitement of science, and provides\nconcrete examples of the scientific methodology.",
