What does science look like in a preschool classroom?
It’s not worksheets.
It’s a child running across the grass with a kite they built themselves! They built it, tested it and discovered that it works!
In this episode, we’re talking about how to move beyond “cute” spring activities and into meaningful science that actually builds cognitive skills.
Topics Discussed:
- What real science looks like in preschool
- Why spring is the perfect time for science
