HANDS-ON/MINDS-ON SCIENCE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN

INSTRUCTOR(S): David Stokes, Naturalist & Michelle Harmon, Schlitz Audubon Center
GRADE LEVEL: PK-2
CREDIT: 2
 

Through the use of songs, stories, riddles, live animals, animal artifacts (biofacts), indoor and outdoor investigations, plant discovery and biology, participants will take a hands-on/minds-on approach to science with young children.  The focus will be on practical teaching techniques, natural science information, and ecological principles as they relate to young children and the season of summer.  Ideas will be shared for incorporating the seasons of fall, winter and spring into the young child's curriculum in scientific ways.  Participants will make and take projects to be used immediately in the classroom.
