A comprehensive curriculum to guide teachers through an inquiry-based approach that builds on children's natural curiosity about the living world around them.

From indoor terrarium and planting projects to outdoor animal searches and habitat discussions, teachers learn how to prepare activities and use both open and focused science exploration.

Five detailed chapters help children to develop scientific reasoning processes such as:

• hypothesis
• inference
• prediction and estimation
• as well as maths, language and literacy skills.

Includes extensive resource lists, sample charts and more.
