This book explains how children's understanding of science and technology develops and how adults can effectively and intentionally support this process. Through hands-on materials and multisensory experiences that build on children's discoveries, adults can help children develop the skills associated with scientific thinking.

45. Observing
46. Classifying
47. Experimenting
48. Predicting
49. Drawing conclusions
50. Communicating ideas
