Aims: > To provide examples of good practice in working scientifically in the Early Years. > To clarify what the different areas of working scientifically are and how best to use them in every day science in Nursery/Reception.
Objectives: > To allow practitioners to see the possibilities when using the different areas when working scientifically in class with young children. > To provide examples of work and discuss what other people do in class to enhance the different areas when working scientifically. > To enable other practitioners to share good practice with both myself and the group in discussion.
As an experienced teacher of 37 years, PSTT Fellow and Early Years Educational Consultant, I want to share my ideas and knowledge with others, having seen that working scientifically is often overlooked with young children but there are lots of opportunities to be had.
