Inhaltsangabe

Strong evidence from recent brain research shows that the intentional teaching of science is crucial in early childhood. Big Science for Growing Minds describes a groundbreaking curriculum that invites readers to rethink science education through a set of unifying concepts or "big ideas." Using an integrated learning approach, the author shows teachers how to use readily available, low-cost items to create a safe classroom setting that fosters hands-on learning and exploration of real-life problems. The text includes classroom activities that connect science learning to mathematics, technology, art, and literacy.

Book Features:

• Shows teachers how to address fundamental biology, chemistry, physics, and Earth science concepts using easy-to-find materials.
• Describes constructivist learning environments that are informed by emerging data on brain development.
• Includes guidance for adopting approaches and instructional strategies consistent with NSTA, NSES, and NAEYC guidelines.
