Science Is Simple: Over 250 Activities for Preschoolers

by Peggy Ashbrook

What do seeds need to grow? What can the wind do? What is dirt?
Like learning to count or read, understanding the fascinating world of science is an essential skill. This innovative book encourages three-to-six-year olds to predict outcomes, ask questions, and investigate answers. Watch preschoolers develop essential observational and analytical skills as they eagerly jump into the hands-on, interactive process that is science. Science Is Simple contains 250 activities spanning 39 kid-pleasing science concepts. From magnets to bubbles, insects to volcanoes, there are experiments to interest each and every child. Budding scientists will "have a ball" learning about objects in motion or feeling the texture of their own homemade paper. Future astronauts will immerse themselves in making a rocket ship and watching it blast off! Children will be captivated as they learn about science and the role it plays in their everyday lives.

Great resource book for preschool science activities. Can be used in classroom setting or at home. Some activities require special items but many can be done with ordinary items likely to be found around the home.

Too basic for my needs. There were activities like, "Give kids different types of seeds and ask them to compare." I think I've worked with kids too long to need help thinking of these kinds of activities. I wanted something different and out-of-the-box.
