Who will benefit from using Exploring Science?
Preschoolers are naturally wired to be curious, which makes these years a good time to introduce them to the science that surrounds them everyday. An early introduction to the subject will create an interest that you can build upon once they reach the elementary years. So, by showing them the miracle of the scientific processes going on around them, you are constructing a basis for their future learning. Read this article to learn more about why you should teach science to preschoolers.
Exploring Science was written with preschooler (K4 to K5) students in mind. The program is designed to highlight some of the major concepts of science in a gentle, yet enjoyable way. Your students will feel like they are playing while they learn some of the fundamental principles of chemistry, physics, biology and earth science.
