Building Teamwork through Science
Rivkin, Mary
Early Childhood Today, v19 n6 p36-42 Apr 2005
This article discusses how children can build teamwork through science activities. Through science experiences, the excitement can generate a sense of shared community in class. Science experiments help develop children's learning. Science experiences are a prime source of powerful new words because they use a common language to describe the world, rather than a language that is specific to children's unique imaginations or home lives. The author provides an overview of how a child's ability to comprehend basic science develops as they grow older. Among other things, the author provides ideas for science explorations to be shared at home with parents, as well as suggestions for introducing science explorations in classroom learning centers. (Contains a list of 9 resources.)
