Pressentation summary
This month we went beyond sink and float to talk about early childhood science learning with Dr. Andrew Shouse
and Marvelous Explorations with Science and Stories (MESS).
*Key messages from the presentation:
*Children can understand abstract scientific concepts.
*Natural curiosity helps children to be keen observers.
*You don’t need deep science knowledge to teach science.
*You can focus on developing children’s scientific thinking skills.
*Conduct scientific explorations over an extended time. This will provide many examples and opportunities for
understanding a concept.
*Avoid less effective approaches: magic show science; hodgepodge or sporadic efforts; limiting science
activities to art (instead of conducting an investigation, for example); or keeping
science separated in a stand-alone center.
