This valuable new science and social studies resource is a series of step-by-step guides on developing studies about real-life topics that spark children's curiosity. Study Starters begin with topics that children want to explore and help you identify children's questions, learn background information and vocabulary, organize and plan the environment, facilitate investigations, incorporate content skills and knowledge, and involve families.
Boxes come in all shapes and sizes. They store food and gifts and make great play spaces. A study of boxes is a way to learn about how goods are transported and to examine the physical properties of objects.
Each Study Starter is available individually, or you may purchase the complete set to receive a free teacher's guide and full-color binder to store the Study Starters and your notes. This is designed for preschool and kindergarten programs.
