Since almost 10 years, the French operation "La main à la pate" has developed a broad network of teachers, trainers and scientists not only in France but through world-wide collaborations to reconcile children and teachers with science. Inquiry-based science teaching has proven to be highly efficient in revitalizing science education in primary schools. Focussing on interdisciplinary activities -including physics and astronomy, several exciting projects have been developed, which involve hundreds of schools at international scale and propose simple scientific activities for young pupils. Two ongoing projects, "Europe of discoveries" and "In the footsteps of Eratosthenes" will be presented as well as the renewed teaching method based on the process of investigation and the fundamental questioning attitude.
