The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of veagtable gardening activities for 4-years-old children. For this purpose, this study is focused on learning how effect vegetable gardening activities on 4-years-old children's science-related attitude and scientific exploration ability.

To examine this purpose, the following research questions were investigated:

1. How effects does vegetable gardening activity make on 4-years-old children's science-related attitudes?
2. How effects does vegetable gardening activity make on 4-years-old children's scientific exploration ability?
The Subjects were fifty children from 2 classes of B kindergarten in Jung-gu, Daejeon. The subject were experimental group consisted of 25 children, while control group consisted of 25 children whose average age 4 years 10 weeks.
Measuring tools for this study included the science-related attitude test and the scientific process skills test. For the science-related attitude test researcher modified 'Instrument for science-related attitude test' which Che,Jung-yeon had made in 2003 on the basis of Kim, Hyo-nam's Chung, Wan-ho's Jeong, Jin-Woo's national assessmsnt system of science-related affective domain in 1999. And for the scientific exploration ability test researcher modified 'Instrument for scientific exploration ability test' which Lee, Kyoug-min had made in 2000 on the basis of Martin's scientific exploration ability evaluation benchmark in 1997.

To verify young children's science-related attitude, after coming up with score's difference of pretest and posttest of science-related attitude, executed t-test. To verify young children's scientific exploration ability, after coming up with frequency and percentage of scientific exploration ability, executed -test.

The result of study are as follows.

First, vegetable gardening activity theory exerted positive effects on 4-years-old children's science-related attitude. there was also a positive effect as the children's interest inscience, desire to learning more about science, science-related jobs and science-related problems issues increased. However, there was no positive effect on science-related activities. Other positive effects on attitudes to science 4 year old children did vegetable gardening, it increased sense of curiosity, ability critically think, ability to cooperate and abilty to volunteer. However, there were no effects on the children's openness to new ideas, patience and creativity.
Second, vegetable gardening activity theory exerted positive effects on 4-years-old children's scientific exploration ability. this had positive effect as the children's ability to predict, classify, measure, and discuss improved, but there were no effects on their ability to observe.
