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.
A study of flowers encourages children's interest in the natural world. Through investigations, conversations and questions, they will learn about living and nonliving things, how living things grow and change, and the cycle of growth. They will learn about jobs and transportation as they explore where flowers are sold and how they are used.
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.
