Synopsis

This book is brimming with fresh ideas and is easy to understand, two qualities that appeal to busy teachers, or to parents who can quickly become surrogate science teachers, and to children who can benefit the most from the hands-on experiences that fill the pages of this imaginative volume. “The Tools of Science” emphasizes the physical sciences: physics- and chemistry-related topics. But also important is its attention to cognitive skills such as observation, use of senses, measuring, communicating, counting, comparing, sequencing, experimenting, inventing, questioning, hypothesizing, predicting, and estimating. And with every new concept or skill is plenty of just plain fun! Author Stangl is an accredited and experienced Early Childhood Specialist, having taught children and their teachers for over 25 years.
