Properties of matter? Physical science? Life science? Earth and space science? This book will give teachers a great place to start. Some great ideas for activities that are supported by accepted research and new research by prekindergarten teacher-researchers working for the University of Texas at Austin on a three-year grant that was funded by National Science Foundation. Teachers were specially trained in the big ideas of science and collected videos, photographic, and written data and provided what they learned at workshops and conventions. This book is written by one of the teacher-researchers and in it she shares her experiences and results of her research. Findings have suggested that 4-year-olds enter school with prior knowledge of science that can be encouraged, supported and extended by an interested and committed teacher. Includes a five page book list of developmentally appropriate science books for prekindergarten and kindergarten students. Also included is a list of suggested science materials for a classroom and a list of potential grant funding sites for science supplies and non-fiction literature. This book will also guide teachers to other books that are rich in science activities for young children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith Ann Turner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1491241764\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781491241769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.39d","brand":"Judith Ann Turner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44761268617471,"sku":"9781491241769","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_074d5d0b-4573-4ee6-acf4-a390ed620459.jpg?v=1706680849","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/progression-of-science-understanding-before-judith-ann-turner-9781491241769","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
