Worms, Shadows, and Whirlpools
This book represents a new way to think about science education for young children. Based on the growing understanding that even the littlest learners are powerful thinkers and theory makers, it identifies important science inquiry skills and concepts appropriate for the very young. What's more, it makes a strong case for integrating science into the curriculum right from the startcreating a context for the development of language, mathematical thinking, and social skills.
