Description
After-school and out-of-school programs–in addition to home schooling–have been growing incessantly for almost a decade, but instructors are still looking for high-interest content that ties into science standards without the rigidity of current study room canon. The writer draws on more than 20 years of experience doing hands-on science to facilitate tinkering: learning science at the same time as fooling around with real things.
In this book, you can learn:
- Tinkering techniques in key science areas
- How to let kids learn science with hands-on tinkering
- Engaging techniques for science learning at home, in school, or at a makerspace or library
- Step-by-step instructions for activities that do not end with a single project, but that supply many paths for “tinkering forward”.
