Abstract | Children are natural scientists. They do what professional scientists do, but for slightly different and less conscious reasons--whether observing water flowing down a pipe, investigating how to make different colors with paints, or reasoning through a series of problems in relation to building a bridge. A kindergarten teacher wanted to expand and deepen science process skills with her students and felt that a project with animals might excite them. Because she wanted to incorporate the children's interests, she decided to use common animals that they saw in their daily lives. One of the goals for the project was to have the students care for the animals to help them better understand how to properly treat them. Students learn about animals through observations and science discussions. (Contains 2 figures and 16 resources.) (ERIC). |
