Great book for Moms with fun and simple and inexpensive things to do with kids.

So much fun
We've done some of the projects in the book. My daughter loves it when we get out the book to do one of the projects. Se really loves the purple cow. This is a must buy if you are looking for projects to keep your child busy and expose them to the world of science. Also as a soon to be teacher i could see implementing some of these projects in to the classroom.

Enthusiastically recommended for parents, teachers, and caregivers of young children everywhere.
Kindergarten teacher Jill Frankel Hauser presents Science Play, a compendium of over 65 safe, age-appropriate activities designed to foster creativity and a sense of discovery in children ages 2 to 6. Step-by-step instructions and simple black-and-white illustrations walk readers through activities such as observing earthworms at work, making puddle prints with food coloring, water, and a simple medicine dropper, or gathering and sorting rocks. Young children will most likely need an adult's help with reading the instructions, but the activities themselves are easy to do and highly inexpensive. Enthusiastically recommended for parents, teachers, and caregivers of young children everywhere.

Product Description
To ensure that they are meeting state early learning guidelines for science, preschool educators need fun, age appropriate, and research based ways to teach young children about scientific concepts. The basis for the PBS KIDS show Sid the Science Kid, this innovative teaching resource helps children ages 3 to 5 investigate their everyday world and develop the basics of scientific thinking skills they ll apply across subject areas when they enter school. The book introduces a fun and engaging way to introduce science to young children. The collaborative work of cognitive researchers and preschool educators, this approach incorporates lessons learned from developmental research and classroom experience, provides age appropriate introduction to key science practices, and supports a range of cognitive and social skills. PrePSTM uses science to help children develop math skills, early literacy and language skills, and social and emotional sensitivity and makes the most of children s natural curiosity. PrePSTM isn t a rigid curriculum that asks children to memorize facts: It s a flexible, hands on approach that helps teachers build on what children do best actively explore their world. PrePSTM encourages children s full participation, making learning a true partnership between adults and children, enhancing any curriculum, and gives teachers creative new ways to support science learning and reasoning within everyday routines and lessons. Because PrePSTM is designed to energize teachers and tap in to their personal creativity, teachers who already use the PrePSTM approach have reported an increase in professional satisfaction. The book provides ample guidance on how to work PrePSTM into existing programs, with sample schedules designed for the preschool classroom and detailed sample activities and templates for lesson plans. Start young children on PrePSTM today, and help them develop the critical thinking skills they ll need to succeed in science class, in other academic subjects, and in life. ... Read more
