The Young Child and the Environment expands on the foundation of developmentally appropriate physical activity, with chapters on topics such as movement development, physical fitness, nutrition, safety in the early childhood learning environment, and the responsibility of parents and communities in developing healthy attitudes and lifestyles for the young.

  • 我的第一套生命科學繪本2:生命為何結束?
    By 細谷亮太

    日本全國學校圖書館協議會選定圖書 獻給孩子的第一套生命科學知識繪本 扣合108課綱「跨領域」學習與「系統化」思考精神 融會貫通生物學、遺傳學、社會學、文化禮俗等多元面向的知識 回應孩子所有關於生命的疑問 日本知名小兒科醫師作家細谷亮太親自監修 從孩子最感興趣的生命問題出發 透過提問、討論、思辨、解惑 學習運用跨領域知識,系統化的思考生命議題 認識生命如何誕生與隕落,探討生命的價值與生存意義 同時也建立國小生命科學與自然科普的基礎 我的生命是怎麼來的呢 我是為了什麼而誕生的呢? 地球上第一個生命是怎麼來的? 死亡是怎麼一回事? 死亡後又會到哪裡去呢? 可以知道自己的生命何時會結束嗎? 所有的生命都一樣重要嗎? 怎麼守護地球上的生命呢?…… 這些問題,你是不是曾經被孩子問倒過, 或者,你的心中也曾經有好多好多關於生命的問題,希望能獲得解答? 「探討生命存在的意義」,是生而為人的本能。因此,許多孩子在小小孩時期,就曾經提出「我從裡來?」、「媽媽是怎麼把我生出來的?」、「為什麼大家都說我跟爸爸很像?」……等一籮筐的疑問。長大一點,如果孩子曾不幸面對親人、朋友,甚或只是寵物的死亡,相信在傷心之餘,一定會也會萌生:「他們為什麼會死?」、「死了以後又會到哪裡去?」的疑惑。 對父母來說,這些題目既不容易回答,很可能也沒有標準答案;但卻不宜用「你長大了就會知道」等含糊答案蒙混過去,因為這樣會扼殺孩子的好奇心與學習動機,也浪費了一個共同探索生命科學與生命議題的最佳契機。 【我的第一套生命科學繪本】是孩子最佳的生命科學與生命議題橋梁書,帶領孩子認識「生命誕生與起源」、「生命時間與消逝」、「生命意義與價值」等三大主題,融合生物學、遺傳學、社會學、哲學、文化禮俗等多面向的知識,引導孩子有層次去探討切身相關的生命議題,並運用人物角色的對話與討論,引導孩子帶入自身經驗、參與思考。書中更精心安排了名人觀點與延伸閱讀的資訊,提供更多素材,深層探索生命的精髓。 ◎本系列共三冊 《我的第一套生命科學繪本1:生命從哪裡來?》 《我的第一套生命科學繪本2:生命為何結束?》 《我的第一套生命科學繪本3:生命很寶貴嗎?》 我的第一套生命科學繪本1:生命從哪裡來? 我的生命是怎麼來的?為什麼我會跟爸爸媽長得很像呢?地球上的生命又是怎麼來的呢?本書從生物學、遺傳學的觀點,為孩子解答各式各樣有關生命誕生與起源的疑惑,並建立有關血型、染色體、DNA、自然演化的基礎生命科學知識。...
