Abstract
The project implemented an Arabic website promoting scientific investigation within the framework of primary school education. It motivates teachers to place children in a position whereby they can experiment, observe, query and reason. The website provides a focal meeting point where scientists, researchers, teachers and pupils can exchange ideas and questions and receive fully comprehensible answers. It also provides resources on scientific subjects including astronomy, biology, mechanics, geology and others. Science documents were selected, translated into Arabic, adapted to Egyptian society and culture, and scientifically validated. The report tracks the project’s steps taken to translation and internationalization.
