Scientific Thinking


An excerpt from Building the Primary Classroom

Scientific Thinking: The science curriculum builds on children's natural inclination to seek explanations and motivates them to find answers to questions through active investigations. This chapter shows how children can learn the methods of scientific investigation--questioning, predicting, observing, experimenting, explaining, and communicating--as they study content related to living things, earth and space, matter and energy.
