Great for Scientific Thinking!

I have used this book for the past two years to begin my science instruction for the school year. I teach first grade, and although the book is written for preschool-age children, it is very easily adapted for older students. The lessons are organized into developmentally appropriate concepts for young children: exploration, inquiry, guided inquiry, application, cross-curricular activities, home-school connections, etc. I highly recommend this book for prek-2 teachers. It is a motivating unit to teach your students scientific thinking and processing.
