科学--科学者だけのものじゃない！幼児向けの簡単な探求 - ペーパーバック

I grabbed this for my three-year-old who keeps asking why things float or sink, and the sink-or-float activity needed almost no prep. The open-ended exploration ideas fit right into our afternoon routine.

The open-ended approach here is refreshing — no step-by-step instructions, just simple ideas that let my kids poke at things and figure them out themselves. My four-year-old spent a solid twenty minutes with the sink-or-float activity, which never happens.

The open-ended exploration ideas in here need almost no prep, which is exactly what I wanted for my daycare group. We turned a leaf-collecting walk into a whole sorting and comparing session and the kids stayed with it for nearly an hour.
