Create Your Own Kidlab: Tips and Ideas to Make Science Engaging, Imaginative, and Fun

by Kevin Emerson

Children make connections between science, nature, and art by working on the hands-on, minds-on projects of a KidLab—a combination of classroom, museum, laboratory, and art studio settings. A forum for inspiring creative, productive, and controlled chaos that results in deep learning, this book provides the how-tos of setting up KidLab projects and the qualities needed in a KidLab teacher to make it all work.
