During scientific learning, young children are bursting with the potential to be confident, capable, involved learners, eager to observe and explore the world around them. A Sense of Wonder explores the many possibilities for experiencing science in early childhood settings by offering engaging, low-cost ideas that will encourage and inspire practitioners and the children they teach.
This practical book offers a scientific framework for the early years that is divided into four key areas: biological science, physical science, earth science and environmental science. Topics covered include life, nature, environmental care, sustainability, and biodiversity - with links throughout to the EYFS.
A Sense of Wonder is an easy-to-read guide for educators looking to implement play-based science learning and inspire children of all ages in the Early Years Foundation Stage.
