Discovering the world around you!
Young children’s innate curiosity about investigating their
world makes them natural scientists.
Young children are born scientists, whose boundless
curiosity and developing skills give them the motivation and capability to
investigate and better understand their world.
When we teach preschool children science we are teaching the
skills children will need throughout their lives to think about a problem and
to explore its possible answers.
Mixing
Slime
Children will develop chemistry
skills as they combine materials.
We have all provided pre-made slime,
but wouldn’t it be more beneficial to let the children mix it themselves. Understanding that combining the materials
and watching the transformation is the most intriguing aspect of the early
childhood sensory experience.
Provide the children with a large
art tray. On the tray have a small container for mixing, a cup with
spoon and white glue. Have a container
of liquid starch on each tray along with different colors of liquid watercolors
with droppers. If you do not have liquid
watercolors use food coloring.
Who doesn't love slime - great fun!
