Description
Step into a fully functioning Early Childhood Science Lab. The Lab at Kids for Kids Academy in Miami, Florida is the vision of longtime educator Beth Davis. Davis brings her 17 years as an elementary science lab teacher to her preschool in Miami. There she has been teaching science in her school's science lab since 2005. In the lab she has shown Children increase their critical thinking skills as they make predictions and test their hypothesis while going through the scientific method. The lessons in this collection provide step by step instructions, as well as photos and video links of real preschoolers doing real science. Davis has found that children are like sponges and given the opportunity to participate in hands on science, soak up a wealth of information. Davis has presented these activities at conferences, universities, and has written journal articles encouraging the implementation of hands on science in early childhood settings. She is also the author of "You Are Never Too Small To Make A Big Difference, A Guide For Parents and Teachers To Teach Empathy To Young Children."
