The Science Area is a popular place in our preschool classroom because preschoolers are curious and love to explore. Although we have many teacher and student collected items to investigate, such as rocks and shells, we need to expand our collection of science materials. Inspiring children to speak and to expand their vocabulary is an important goal of our program and special additions to the Science Area will help us move towards that goal. The Science Viewers will give students an up-close view of nature. As they talk about what they see, they will learn to speak clearly and add descriptive words to their vocabulary. The Mirror Discovery Cubes help students answer questions and make discoveries connected to reflections and angles. The Wind Tunnel Discovery Center helps preschoolers develop skills in making observations, exploring cause and effect, wind power, and making and testing predictions. The Iron Filling Disks will be used to support our study of magnetism. Lastly, having a pair of real working stethoscopes will add excitement to our Health Habits study as students hear their own heartbeat and that of their classmates. Having new materials in our Science Area will inspire our preschool learners to use descriptive language, ask questions, seek answers, make observations, explore cause and effect, and learn through hands-on exploratory play. This helps even our youngest learners become scientific thinkers.
