Even infants explore phenomena! There is no age at which children begin thinking about their world and testing out their ideas. #earlyscience #ECE #STEMstartsEarly
By exploring phenomena, students have opportunities to apply science and engineering practices and to build their own larger scientific conceptions and identities. #SciEd, #ScienceEd #STEMed, #NGSS #NGSSchat

In #ECE we may steer children away from arguing but ���Engaging in argument from evidence” is one of the @OfficialNGSS Practices of Science & Engineering. Children love to state how they know what they (think) they know ➡️great discussions/opportunities 4 oral language & reasoning.
Argumentation is central to productive science learning. How can your classroom and lab activities be modified to provide opportunities for argumentation in these discussion formats? #SciEd, #ScienceEd #STEMed, #NGSS #NGSSchat

A great resource for learning about #weather and measuring precipitation in particular. Even for #preK and #kindergarten!

What kind of problem solving do your #Prek students do in the #sandbox? So many possibilities for appreciating the properties of matter while making #engineering design choices! #foundationalexperiences
Many youth have extensive experience observing or engaging in design projects that develop solutions to everyday problems or interests that matter to them. The design knowledge and identities of youth can help other students in #engineering:

Reflecting on experiences and talking about them together supports our acceptance of new ideas and more sophisticated understandings. #natureplay #earlyscience
